+# Windows Forms in .NET 11 Preview 6 - Release Notes
+
+<!-- Verified against Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App.Ref@11.0.0-preview.6.26328.106; API diff showed no public API changes. -->
+
+.NET 11 Preview 6 does not introduce new Windows Forms feature additions. The
+notable user-facing change in this preview is a regression fix for
+ToolStripDropDown focus handling in SmartTag and dropdown scenarios.
+
+## Bug fixes
+
+- **System.Windows.Forms.ToolStrip**
+  - `ToolStripDropDown` now preserves modal menu tracking during focus changes.
+    This lets SmartTag and dropdown UI close normally when users switch tab
+    pages or otherwise move focus
+    ([dotnet/winforms #14606](https://github.com/dotnet/winforms/pull/14606)).
