Windows 11 24H2 (26052)

Additional context

This issue is probably caused by the content dialog background blocking the title bar.

I wonder if this this can be repro'd with System TitleBar, since WinUI Gallery currently uses a fully custom "user control" titlebar. Hopefully this will resolve once we switch to the new TitleBar control.

Isn't that actually meant to be like this?

I think that it isn't meant to be like this because the TitleBar control in WindowsAppSDK 1.7 will fix this issue.

Well, for me it seem obvious that a modal/dialog window should block interacting with the parent window unless a specific setting/attribute/argument, as MessageBoxes do.

I think preventing from dragging the parent window is normal, but allowing it with an attribute in the XAML could be a good thing too.

Yeah, this is by design. Dialogs tend to block any other interaction of the window.
