DialogHost on MetroWindow causes rendering artifacts

[Tokter]

As you move your mouse around, or tab between different controls. Horizontal and vertical lines appear:

You can recreate the issue by adding a DialogHost to the MahAppsDragablzDemo MainWindow.xaml

I was going to create an issue with this exact Bug.
I have a simple repo that recreates the glitches when using MetroWindow and Material Dialog
Repo

Duplicate of issue #1097
See comment #1097 (comment)

Looks like it, but since that issue only started with one of the latest updates and multiple people seem to run into it. Maybe that should be fixed somewhere in the framework?

[Keboo]

@Tokter do you know a previous version where it worked?

[Tokter]

@Keboo Couldn't figure out in what version it changed yet. But I created a pull request that I think fixes the issue.
