I’m sorry if my posts came over as criticism towards the WinUI team, that was not intended. I am disappointed by Microsoft for not increasing resources and priority for WinUI. It feels like very slow progress was made in the last few months.
From what I can tell, this issue has been finally fixed by this PR. Thank you so much @llongley! This bug was so annoying and I am so glad I found this to be fixed in the preview version on NuGet. I hope a stable NuGet version of 2.8.0 will follow soon.
