Fixed a current issue where if File Explorer was open when you switched between light and dark mode, you could end up with some unreadable text / UI showing the incorrect color.
Fixed a problem which could result in not being able to unpin Desktop, Pictures, or Documents folders from Quick access.
If the tab title is too long to display completely in the available space, hovering your mouse regarding this will now show a tooltip with the full name.

Keep in mind that each one of these fixes are currently available just for insiders, and there's no ETA regarding once they might be shipped to production devices.
