Window.Move not working

[ataliady]

        var app = Application.LaunchStoreApp("Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");
        var automation = new UIA3Automation();
        var window = app.GetMainWindow(automation);
        window.Move(0, 0);

Calculator is successfully launched. I try to relocate the app window but the window.Move() just does nothing. Doesn't raise any error/exception either.

What am i missing?

Windows store apps are a bit special.
Like in the calculator, the container window that can be moved is actually the parent of the main window.
The following should work:

var app = Application.LaunchStoreApp("Microsoft.WindowsCalculator_8wekyb3d8bbwe!App");
var automation = new UIA3Automation();
var window = app.GetMainWindow(automation).Parent.AsWindow();
window.Move(0, 0);

Tried it, it worked for a few runs, but then i got the following issue:
Window parent = window.Parent.AsWindow();
While 'window.Parent' equals x, 'parent' is assigned as x.Parent (which in this case is desktop).

How can this be?
It's not constant though; sometimes 'parent' is assigned as desktop, and sometimes as calculator. Can't figure out how to deal with this.

That is kind of strange. In the second case, would it work if you take the window instead of the parent?
So maybe first try to get the parent and if the parent is the desktop, do not use the parent, otherwise use the parent.
I know that WindowsStoreApps are quite special as they are usually running in (at least) one host process so it is not easy to get the correct process where the UI window resides.
