Instantiating child window from main window constructor crashes

See callstack below.
Steps to reproduce the bug
Upgrade from 1.3 to 1.4 Run your app making sure you instantiate a child window from the main window constructor.

That crash results from instantiating another window from your main window constructor.
In my case all I had to do was to comment out that line:
iWindowSettings = new WindowSettings(Handle);
Now I'm only intantiating that window just before showing it which works without crash apparently.
Do you have the in app toolbar enabled?
If you do, try disabling it.
There is a known issue where the in app toolbar will cause a crash if there are multiple Xaml windows on a thread.
Otherwise, it would be nice to know more about WindowSettings, importantly, are you trying to change the parent/owner of a Xaml window that derives from Microsoft.UI.Xaml.Window?
I'll try disable the debug toolbar to see if it helps. I don't think I do anything too fancy with that settings window. It's just being created as a child from the main window.
I think it's definitly that bug with the debug toolbar. I tried it on another computer where the toolbar is disabled and that's not an issues there.
However I'm not sure how to turn back on the toolbar. Here are my settings:
Here is what the Live Visual Tree looks like:
You should just be able to click the same button as you used to disable it.

Can't recall how I did that last year now…
