Description
### Microsoft PowerToys version
0.99.1
### Installation method
WinGet
### Area(s) with issue?
Grab And Move, Command Palette
### Steps to reproduce
Hold Alt and grab the command palette popup or dock.
### ✔️ Expected Behavior
The window (especially the dock) should not move. `Microsoft.CmdPal.UI.exe` should be ignored by Grab and Move by default.
### ❌ Actual Behavior
The window will be moved.
This is a small issue for the popup as it will reset to the correct position the next time you trigger it, but the same is not true for the dock.
