apache - .htaccess rewrite issue with no slash -

i've searched awhile , can't find solution issue, maybe i'm not searching right thing, anyways, here's what's happening.

i have next mod_rewrites in .htaccess file. rewrites work perfectly, if not have trailing slash, show's variable automatically in url. please see illustration below clear understanding.

url sample

if come in http://website.com/test/, (notice trailing slash) page url remain exact same , load content perfectly!

but, if forget trailing slash, ie: http://website.com/test, page url alter http://website.com/test/?var1=test. (now notice had left out trailing slash begin with) content still loads , works fine, url "ugly" now.

i hope made clear, if have questions, please sense free ask. give thanks you!

this happening due mod_dir module adds trailing slash after mod_rewrite rules have finished. have rules avoid problem:
