Description
I'm on windows 11
I just downloaded & installed with typical settings to showing someone new to programming, and when I went to save their work, I created a new sub directory to put their saves and when I clicked enter after renaming the new folder the program crashed, the work was lost, and the folder reverted to "New folder"

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue on Windows 11 through the “Save sketch folder as” flow: create a subdirectory, rename it, and press Enter. Trace the desktop save-dialog path to identify why the program crashes and the folder reverts to “New folder.” Done means the folder is created with its chosen name, the program remains open, and the sketch is not lost.
