Partial Repost: MainWindow freeze after workaround for "Maui partial UI freeze, typing to fast or method takes time to process."

Description

There is a known bug in the Windows App Sdk used by MAUI projects. (And other project types, Universal app etc.)
See references.

https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/13573

Tracked here:
https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/3266

There is an advice how to fix this bug from Eilon commented on Apr 6
See this comment for how to get the fix in a .NET MAUI Blazor project: MicrosoftEdge/WebView2Feedback#3003 (comment)

It is basically upgrading to <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK" Version="1.2.230313.1" />

On the first run after applying this it seems to work. After deleting bin and obj folder (before run) or building the app in CI/CD this won't work and causes the MAINWINDOW to partial freeze. (See video trying to move, close etc. the MainWindow)

So basically, there is no solution with net7 MAUI Projects for the "UI freeze, typing to fast".

This is a somewhat major showstopper for our current project. Cause how to progress with UI and Window freeze in net7, should we decide to stick to net6 and wait for net8 release, cause of the project timeline this could lead to some problems.

Would be nice if you could adjust priority on this topic and introduce a fix for net7 projects running <PackageReference Include="Microsoft.WindowsAppSDK" Version="1.2.230313.1" />, causes a "Window Freeze" at the moment.
