Description

Describe the bug

Hi,
I'm facing an issue with the Titlebar. If an element is placed withing the area of the titlebar then none of the events of that element trigger. E.g. if we place a button within the Titlebar area, none of the events of button will trigger (hover, click etc). I've tried pretty much everything even ZIndex but it just doesn't work.

To Reproduce

Simply create a fluent window, add a Titlebar and a button that shows on top of the titlebar. you will notice button acts like if it is disabled. It won't react to hover events or click events.

Expected behavior

Any other element placed in the area of titlebar should react to its events.

Research direction

Start with the FluentWindow and TitleBar used in the supplied XAML, and reproduce the issue on Windows with the reported .NET 6 or .NET 8 versions. Trace how the titlebar area handles mouse input while the overlaid Button is present; done means controls placed there receive hover and click events. No repository file or test entry point is named in the report.
