This issue stems from the fact that our WPF control uses the WPF HwndHost to host the Win32 WebView2 control, and HwndHost has a long-standing issue with airspace. This issue has existed for over a decade, and you can read more about in-depth efforts to fix it in general in WPF; see [Mitigating Airspace Issues In WPF Applications](https://dwayneneed.github.io/wpf/2013/02/26/mitigating-airspace-issues-in-wpf-applications.html).
