Description
The "Recent Folders" and "Pinned" shortcuts for folders opened on remote containers are not shown correctly in the task bar shortcut:
To get the correct path of the folder one must hover over the shortcut
See below example:

The "Open Recent" list in VSCode displays the full name:

The "Recent" list in VSCode also has the same issue as the shortcuts

If you hover over any one of them (Task bar or Recent shortcuts) it shows the correct path

For example if I just connect over SSH to a folder the shortcuts are
folder_name [SSH: sfe-r750]
Is there a possible way that this can be improved for our setup?
