Touch Screen Usage Cancels Out Mouse Functionality in Input Fields and Navigation

Description

When using both touch screen and mouse interchangeably, the mouse functionality is canceled after interacting with the touch screen. After selecting an input field using the touch screen, subsequent mouse attempts to interact with other input fields or navigate to a different page fail. However, resizing the application window or switching to a different program window sometimes restores the functionality partially.

Additional Information:
Issue History: This issue has been present since .NET 6 and continues to occur in subsequent versions.
The portion of time when resizing resolves the issue seems to be around 38%, though inconsistent.
Switching to only touch screen functionality works, but keyboard input might work on some fields, but not others.
Restarting the application temporarily restores mouse functionality after this issue.

Steps to Reproduce

Actual Behavior:
After interacting with the screen via touch screen, the mouse becomes unresponsive:

• Unable to click into other input fields.
• Unable to navigate to a different page using the mouse.
• However, resizing the application window restores proper mouse functionality approximately 38% of the time.
• Alternatively, switching to a different program's window and returning to the application may resume normal mouse functionality.

Expected Behavior:
The mouse should continue to function seamlessly after using the touch screen:

• It should allow clicking into other input fields.
• Page navigation should not be hindered.
• Resizing the window or switching between windows should not be required to restore functionality.

Relevant log output

Start by running the linked CrownVicPI437/MauiTouchIssues reproduction project on Windows with .NET MAUI 8.0.40 SR5, then reproduce the touch-to-mouse sequence described in this issue. Trace the affected input and navigation behavior in the MAUI Windows target; done means mouse interaction continues working after touch input without resizing or switching windows.
