Hi @tipa , is this issue only for this specific payload? Is it a new issue or was it in the previous WindowsAppSdk version as well?

[tipa]

@SatwikKrSharma I don't know if previous workloads were affected or not, I was just starting to use widgets when I encountered and logged this issue. I just tested it again and the crash still occurs with the latest tools (net10.0-windows10.0.26100.0, Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK 1.8.251106002, Widgetboards 525.28301.40.0) - again, I can reproduce this on a Surface Copilot Laptop at 150% display scale, not on my Desktop PC with 100% scale
