I am having an unexpected behaviour with the Avalonia TabControl.

The Scene is initialized when the control is first shown, but if you tab to another control and come back the Scene is disposed. When you try to move the camera, the following exception is thrown:

I created a project at GitHub to illustrate the issue

In the main application I am working with a different exception is thrown because I am adding points to the root node but basically the MainSceneView, Scene, SceneView and RootNode are all disposed.

Is there guidance where I can re-create the scene in code every time the TabControl is shown?
