This is the xaml structure:

<StackPanel Name="element1" Orientation="Horizontal">
  <SplitButton>
      <Border
          Width="32"
          Height="32"
          CornerRadius="4" />
      <SplitButton.Flyout>
          <Flyout>
              <ColorPicker
                  ColorSpectrumShape="Box"
                  IsAlphaEnabled="False"
                  IsAlphaSliderVisible="True"
                  IsColorChannelTextInputVisible="True"
                  IsColorSliderVisible="True"
                  IsHexInputVisible="True"
                  IsMoreButtonVisible="False"
                  Tag="element1" />
          </Flyout>
      </SplitButton.Flyout>
  </SplitButton>
  <Button Width="43" Height="43">
      <FontIcon FontSize="17" Glyph="&#xEF3C;" />
  </Button>
</StackPanel>

I could not get it to reproduce on other project, strangely since switching to CommunityToolkit ColorPicker the issue stopped.

Here is a workaround: https://github.com/rocksdanister/lively/blob/cfeefc4953eef8e86baf0ba0b0777b46e39b91ba/src/Lively/Lively.UI.WinUI/UserControls/ColorPickerButton.xaml.cs#L82

Using x:Load to load the controls inside flyout on dispatcher.

@rocksdanister have you tried this with latest version of WinAppSDK ? 1.6 Preview1 was recently released - can you see if it is addressed there? There have been many fixes since the 1.3 release.

Can be reproduced on 1.6 Preview1.
