Setting MinimumSize activates the Form

.NET version

.NET 8-windows

Did it work in .NET Framework?

Not tested/verified

Did it work in any of the earlier releases of .NET Core or .NET 5+?

not that I know of

Issue description

I'm seeing that setting MinimumSize on a Form, activates it.

This was reported here: #7251 though not sure what the resolution was

And here #3020 where it's suggested that they don't want to fix this.

I haven't found a good workaround for this. I can detect if the Form isn't active and pend the MinimumSize set for when it becomes active, but this causes others problems for me, so I would like this fixed.

Steps to reproduce

.net 8 WinForms app on Windows 11, per-monitor v2 DPI (though this reprod when the app wasn't DPI aware)

can paste some sample app if I have time, but just create a barebones app that sets MinimumSize on a timer a couple times and focus on another Form. Focus should move to the first Form.
