### Describe the bug

https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/blob/acda1c3df1b71dbf77bc80a0544eae7955398d49/components/Marquee/src/Marquee.xaml#L9

https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Labs-Windows/blob/acda1c3df1b71dbf77bc80a0544eae7955398d49/components/Marquee/src/Marquee.cs#L241

I noticed that the Marquee control crashes. After debugging, I believe the SizeChanged event causes the visibility of segment2 to change. Since the control’s default vertical alignment is set to Top, this triggers another SizeChanged event, resulting in an infinite loop.
Setting VerticalAlignment="Stretch" allows it to work correctly, but this is not a real solution.

In addition, I noticed that _marqueeContainer is repeatedly subscribing to the SizeChanged event.

### Steps to reproduce

```text

Just setting Behavior="Looping" is enough to trigger the crash.
```

### Expected behavior

This shouldn't cause the program to crash.
