No response

Steps to reproduce

Go to Settings, Color Schemes. Click on Color Scheme Dropdown, then try clicking anywhere else to close the dropdown. It is very picky about where you try to click to click off of the dropdown.

Expected Behavior

No response

Actual Behavior

Clicking off of the dropdown seems to only work when clicking on the sidebar, or just above the buttons next to the dropdown, or the tabs. It doesn't work anywhere else.

@zadjii-msft Looks like the msftbot didn't add the Needs-Triage label to this one.

Yea, this is unfortunately due to a bug in WinUI itself. We're tracking this on our side in #8769, and the upstream bug is microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml#3961.

Appearance -> Open 'Color scheme' dropdown -> Cannot dismiss the dropdown by clicking somewhere else
