This sounds more like a WinUI 3 issue than a WinUI 3 Gallery issue, what do you think @gregwoo-microsoft and @bpulliam ?

Btw, I wasn't able to repro this on Win10, while there is a wait cursor it disappears after half a second.

Oh, sure. Also my WinUI 3 App has the same issue... Wrong place for the bug submit? Can you move it?

Sorry for the delay, unfortunately I cannot move this issue @LucaCris. I was able to reproduce this issue now on Windows 11.

As a workaround, you can set the focus on the AutoSuggestBox.

private void OnNavigationViewControlLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // Delay necessary to ensure NavigationView visual state can match navigation
    Task.Delay(500).ContinueWith(_ => this.NavigationViewLoaded?.Invoke(), TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());

    // Set focus just as a workaround for the "waiting mode cursor" at startup.
    this.controlsSearchBox.Focus(FocusState.Keyboard);
}

@AndrewKeepCoding I can't keyboard focus anything in my App first launch page... 😑

@LucaCris The code is just a workaround that works with the WinUI 3 Gallery app, hoping the gives you one way to fix the issue in your app. By the way, this also works with the WinUI 3 Gallery app.

private void OnNavigationViewControlLoaded(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
{
    // Delay necessary to ensure NavigationView visual state can match navigation
    Task.Delay(500).ContinueWith(_ => this.NavigationViewLoaded?.Invoke(), TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());

    // Set focus just to workaround the "waiting mode cursor" at startup.
    //this.controlsSearchBox.Focus(FocusState.Keyboard);
    this.rootFrame.Focus(FocusState.Pointer);
}

I'm definitely still seeing this issue on my WinUI 3 application. Not critical certainly, but annoying.

Closing issue - this is caused by https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/8689, which we have a fix for in the WASDK 1.5 timeframe.
