Pull Request Overview

This PR addresses a popup root exception that occurs when NavigationView is placed within a popup and makes changes to the IsPaneOpen property's default value. The main fix defers SplitView DisplayMode updates that occur during OnApplyTemplate to the OnLoaded event to prevent exceptions when NavigationView is in the popup root.

• Wraps the OnApplyTemplate logic in a try-finally block with a flag to track when the template is being applied
• Defers SplitView DisplayMode updates during OnApplyTemplate to the OnLoaded event to avoid popup root exceptions
• Removes the default value (true) from the IsPaneOpen dependency property, making it default to false
