Additional context
If we set the Border's Background to Transparent, we can find that the size of the window changes in time, but the aspect ratio of the shadow remains unchanged. Maybe that's the reason for the problem.

Hello chenjt2001, thank you for opening an issue with us!
I have automatically added a "needs triage" label to help get things started. Our team will analyze and investigate the issue, and escalate it to the relevant team if possible. Other community members may also look into the issue and provide feedback 🙌
Thanks for filing an issue @chenjt2001!
We're registering to the SizeChanged
event here, so I would have suspected this to be fired in this scenario to update the shadow:
https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/WindowsCommunityToolkit/blob/00e9790337b17115ca9f7d2b966422f7f221f275/Microsoft.Toolkit.Uwp.UI/Shadows/AttachedDropShadow.cs#L140-L160
Maybe this is related to the note here about the existing rendersize vs. actualsize? Or possibly a delay between those values updating and the next layout pass occurring... Maybe we need to dispatch this or use the CompositionTargetHelper
to ensure that the element has the correct size (though I would have thought it should have that by the SizeChanged is fired).
If this is enough for you to dig-in and debug, let me know if you want to take a look at it. If you need more assistance in getting the sample app to run locally to reproduce, let us know too. Thanks!
Thanks. I found that the RenderSize is correct and the problem is that the mask is not updated. See the PR #4549.
I copy pasted the Grid code in the sample app and see the issue when we adjust the window size changes abnormally and the PR created fixes the issue(Shadow remains constant as we adjust the window size)
