[Taskbar & System Tray]
Fixed an issue where right-clicking on certain icons in the hidden icons flyout would dismiss the flyout instead of bringing up the context menu for that icon.
[Search on the Taskbar]
The fixes only apply to Windows Insiders who got one of the different treatments for how search looks on the taskbar that started with Insiders. Build 25252:
Fixed an explorer.exe crash that was affecting some internals related to the search box in the taskbar.
[Input]
When search suggestions are triggered using the Pinyin IME, the keyboard focus will now be on the current candidate. To focus on search suggestions, press Tab.
