Bug report (I searched for similar issues and did not find one)

Current behavior

If my app navigates to a new page with gridsplitter controls sometimes the cursor disappears. The cursor only appears if hovering over a gridsplitter control.

Expected behavior

The cursor should be visible.

Minimal reproduction of the problem with instructions

Create a page with 2 gridsplitter controls, then from the main page navigate back and forth a few times to the page with the gridsplitters. Eventually, the cursor disappears.

Research direction
Investigate the Gridsplitter control's handling of cursor visibility. Look at the source code in the repository, likely in a file like GridSplitter.cs. The issue mentions navigating between pages, so also check page lifecycle events. Review the 17 comments for any proposed solutions or reproduction details.
