Issue description

Hello,

With version 17.6.3 of visual studio with .Net 6 with a WinForm project in VB language, I use the FolderBrowserDialog dialog. I initialize the SelectedPath property with the value: “P:\Gestion_REDWOOD”. When displaying the dialog, I notice that the folder name displayed in the text box is truncated. The displayed and selected text is “estion_REDWOOD”. If I move the cursor to the beginning of the text or if I press the “Home” key, I can see all the text. The problem is the same with a WPF project.

Here is my test code:

`Private Sub Button1_Click(sender As Object, e As EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click

Dim selectPath As String

Dim openFolderDialog As New FolderBrowserDialog()
openFolderDialog.SelectedPath = "P:\Gestion_REDWOOD"
openFolderDialog.Description = "Dossier de destination sur le cloud"
If openFolderDialog.ShowDialog = DialogResult.OK Then
	selectPath = openFolderDialog.SelectedPath
End If

End Sub`

Here is a screenshot:
