Code in our source side

<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle" Value="{x:Null}" />
<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment" Value="{x:Static HorizontalAlignment.Center}" />

Code generated while edit template

<Setter Property="FocusVisualStyle">
<Setter.Value>
<Null/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>

<Setter Property="HorizontalContentAlignment">
<Setter.Value>
<Static/>
</Setter.Value>
</Setter>

The issue reproduce only in Preview version and it working fine previous version.

    Hi,

    Visual Studio is currently not supported in the Q&A forums, the supported products are listed over here https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/products (more to be added later on).

    You can ask the experts in the dedicated Visual Studio forum over here:
    https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/home?category=visualstudio

    (Please don't forget to accept helpful replies as answer)

    Best regards,
    Leon
