II. Issues
2.1 Top 5 Active Issues:
We consider active issues to be issues that that have been commented on most frequently within the last week. Bot comments are omitted.
-
CommandParameter TemplateBinding Lost During ControlTemplate Reparenting: This issue describes a regression introduced between versions 9.0.14 and 9.0.21 of .NET MAUI where a crash occurs on iOS during view navigation because a Command is evaluated before its CommandParameter binding is applied, resulting in a null parameter passed to CanExecute and causing an ArgumentNullException. The root cause is linked to changes in the binding system, specifically the introduction of an asynchronous relative-source binding application and altered property-change notification ordering, which together cause the Command to be triggered prematurely before the CommandParameter is set.
- The comments confirm the regression is due to the async void ApplyRelativeSourceBinding method combined with changed notification ordering, allowing Command evaluation before CommandParameter binding completes, causing the crash. The issue has been verified and reproduced on multiple platforms including Android, highlighting its broader impact beyond iOS.
- Number of comments this week: 3
-
Status bar behavior Transparent setting does not respect padding on Pixel 9 Android: This issue describes a problem where setting the status bar to transparent on a Pixel 9 Android device does not respect the top page padding, causing layout issues that do not occur on other devices like the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra or Galaxy A15. The problem only arises with a transparent status bar and is flagged by Google for deprecated edge-to-edge APIs, while it works correctly on iOS and used to function properly in earlier versions of Xamarin.Forms.
- The comments suggest the issue is likely related to the updated Android API level 15 and .NET 9, with confirmation that the problem can be reproduced on multiple MAUI versions and Android devices; a sample project and output images were provided to help verify the bug.
- Number of comments this week: 2
-
Entry selects all text when HorizontalTextAlignment is Center or End if clicking/tapping on the left side: This issue describes a problem where an Entry control with HorizontalTextAlignment set to Center or End selects all text when the user clicks or taps on the left side of the text area, instead of placing the caret at the clicked position. This behavior is inconsistent because it does not occur when the alignment is set to Start, and it has been confirmed to reproduce on the Windows platform in specific MAUI versions.
- The comments confirm the issue is reproducible in multiple MAUI versions on Windows and clarify that this behavior matches the native WinUI TextBox control, where clicking the left side selects all text regardless of text alignment, indicating the behavior is inherited from the underlying platform.
- Number of comments this week: 2
-
MAUI Blazor Hybrid + Web template can't load blazor.web.js: This issue reports that the MAUI Blazor Hybrid + Web template fails to load the blazor.web.js file, resulting in a 404 error when launching the web project created from the template. The user provides a workaround involving changes to Program.cs and App.razor to correctly reference static assets, but it is unclear if this is a regression or affects other versions.
- The comments indicate that the issue was verified on one setup but could not be reproduced on another machine, suggesting inconsistent behavior. Despite the inability to consistently reproduce the problem, commenters agree that the workaround reflects necessary updates to how static files are handled in the base Blazor template.
- Number of comments this week: 2
-
[Android shell navigation] When quickly navigating back twice results in back twice and forward once: This issue describes a problem on Android where quickly navigating back twice using shell navigation results in an unexpected behavior of going back twice and then forward once, particularly when navigating with query parameters. The user reports that this behavior can be reproduced on .NET MAUI versions 9.0.50 and above, and notes a workaround involving always passing query parameters and waiting briefly before navigating back.
- The comments confirm the issue is reproducible on Android with .NET MAUI versions 9.0.50 and later, but not on earlier versions, though there is some confusion about the exact version range due to conflicting statements in the discussion.
- Number of comments this week: 2
2.2 Top 5 Stale Issues:
We consider stale issues to be issues that has had no activity within the last 30 days. The team should work together to get these issues resolved and closed as soon as possible.
- Nullable Enums do not bind in XAML: This issue describes a problem where nullable enums do not properly bind within a custom control's bindable property in XAML, resulting in the setter not being triggered. The user provides detailed reproduction steps and notes that the issue affects all versions on iOS and Android platforms, with a suggested workaround of avoiding nullable enums by adding an explicit unset or none value to the enum.
- App crash after invoked FilePicker.Default.PickAsync in administrator mode and release mode of the Unpackaged app: This issue describes an application crash that occurs specifically when invoking the FilePicker.Default.PickAsync method in an unpackaged app running in administrator mode and release configuration. The problem is reproducible on Windows version 10.0.19041.0 using the .NET 8.0.80 SR8 runtime, and no workaround has been identified so far.
- Global defined EventTriggers get triggered twice: This issue describes a problem where EventTriggers defined globally in a style cause their invoke method to be called twice, resulting in duplicate event handling. The user notes that applying the EventTrigger through a named style with a key triggers the event only once, indicating the problem is specific to globally defined styles in a .NET MAUI application across multiple platforms including iOS, Android, and Windows.
- Path with ArcSegments is sporadically drawn offset from expected arc: This issue describes a sporadic rendering problem in .NET Maui where ArcSegments used to draw large arcs greater than 180 degrees are occasionally offset from their expected starting positions, causing visual clipping and misalignment, especially when overlaid on correctly drawn arcs. The problem occurs across Windows, Android, and iOS platforms, appears more frequently near the 180-degree threshold and with thicker strokes, and persists despite attempted workarounds such as breaking the arc into smaller segments or manually drawing arcs with line segments, with animation further exacerbating the flickering and offset behavior.
- .NET Maui does not support FontAutoScalingEnabled for windows platform: This issue highlights that the .NET Maui framework does not properly support the FontAutoScalingEnabled property on the Windows platform, causing text labels to scale incorrectly when the display scaling is changed. Specifically, when FontAutoScalingEnabled is set to false, the text size still increases with higher display scaling settings, which should not occur according to the expected behavior.

- Theme and Color Binding Issues on Android and MAUI: Issues report that controls such as Entry, Editor, SwipeItemView, and SwipeItem do not correctly update colors or maintain AppThemeBinding when the app theme changes, reverting to default platform colors or requiring manual refreshes. This leads to inconsistent theming and requires workarounds like page reloads to reflect theme changes properly.
- issues/31889, issues/31917
- SafeAreaEdges Default Behavior and Visual State Management Proposals: There are proposals to improve SafeAreaEdges behavior by adding a Visual State Manager to dynamically adjust edges based on orientation and changing the default SafeAreaEdges value to "None" in .NET 10. These changes aim to provide better default layout behavior and reduce user confusion by aligning iOS and Android behaviors.
- issues/31887, issues/31925
- Blazor Hybrid and Web Template Loading Issues: Problems include a blank white screen when rendering Base64-encoded PDFs on macOS after an OS upgrade and a 404 error loading blazor.web.js in the MAUI Blazor Hybrid + Web template. These issues prevent proper rendering and loading of Blazor content in hybrid applications.
- issues/31885, issues/31923
- Navigation and Shell Regression Bugs on Android and iOS: Issues describe regressions such as incorrect navigation behavior in Android shell navigation causing unexpected forward navigation, a crash on iOS due to a null Handler in ShellSectionRenderer after navigation, and a small, misaligned back arrow icon in iOS Shell BackButtonBehavior. These regressions affect navigation reliability and UI consistency.
- issues/31935, issues/31936, issues/31961
- ControlTemplate and Command Binding Regression: A regression in .NET MAUI 9.0.21 causes asynchronous and out-of-order CommandParameter binding during ControlTemplate reparenting, leading to null parameter crashes on iOS when CanExecute throws exceptions. This affects command execution reliability in templates.
- issues/31939
- Touch and Input Interaction Failures on Windows and Android: Touch events stop working when UI controls are nested inside containers repositioned with translation transforms, affecting buttons and tap gestures with no known workaround. Additionally, the Paste option is missing from the Entry context menu on Windows despite clipboard content being available. These issues degrade user input functionality.
- issues/31941, issues/31958
- Scrolling and Animation Issues on Android and iOS: Problems include unnecessary intermediate updates to CarouselView's CurrentItem during scroll animation on Android, random stopping of vertical scrolling animation in CollectionView on Android 15, a horizontal scrollbar briefly appearing during pull-to-refresh on iOS, and loss of scrollability after button clicks on Android. These issues disrupt smooth scrolling and expected UI behavior.
- issues/31874, issues/31966, issues/31960, issues/31963
- Layout and Text Selection Issues on Windows: An Entry control with HorizontalTextAlignment set to Center or End incorrectly selects all text when clicking on the left side, instead of placing the caret at the clicked position, differing from Start alignment behavior. This causes inconsistent text editing experiences on Windows.
- issues/31894
- Visual Studio and XAML Live Preview Regression: In Visual Studio 2026 with .NET 10, users cannot select chart elements using XAML Live Preview despite other off-screen elements being selectable, representing a regression from previous .NET MAUI versions.
