I think this is not a proper fix -- I just manually check in on my own ... In WrapperView.Windows , UpdateClip method is handled.. in that if height and width less than 0 it returns... so other othings not happened in the after code in update clip method in WrapperView.Windows..... If I wrapped the same contentview inside the Layout such as stacklayout which is working fine.. the same it is returned first in update clip , after that from Arrange of layout it updated the frame... from the MapFrame it calls again, so at the time child.ActualWdith and child.ActualHeight is determined, and works on that scenario ... can you check like this.. by arranging frame in border , so that we can get updated again in clip with proper height and width values ?

You're absolutely right! I investigated further and my current fix isn't addressing the root cause. The issue is indeed in the WrapperView.UpdateClip method returning early when Child.ActualWidth and Child.ActualHeight are 0 or negative.
The problem is that when ContentView is inside Border, the timing of when UpdateClip gets called doesn't align with when the actual dimensions are available. Let me investigate a proper fix that ensures UpdateClip gets triggered again after the frame is properly arranged, similar to how it works with layouts like StackLayout.

Add LayoutUpdated event handler to WrapperView to handle cases where clip application fails due to zero dimensions. This ensures UpdateClip gets called again when proper dimensions are available, addressing the timing issue specifically when ContentView is inside Border. Addresses feedback from @Ahamed-Ali about the root cause being in WrapperView.UpdateClip returning early when ActualWidth/ActualHeight are not yet available. Co-authored-by: Ahamed-Ali <[email protected]>
Replace LayoutUpdated approach with ArrangeOverride in WrapperView to directly handle cases where UpdateClip needs to be retried after proper dimensions are available. This addresses the root timing issue when ContentView is inside Border. Addresses feedback from @Ahamed-Ali about focusing on the timing issue in WrapperView.UpdateClip rather than ContentPanel.Content property management. Co-authored-by: Ahamed-Ali <[email protected]>
Remove the LayoutUpdated event handling since ArrangeOverride is more targeted and reliable for handling the ContentView clip timing issue. This eliminates code duplication and focuses on the core fix. Co-authored-by: Ahamed-Ali <[email protected]>

Actually I debug it manually , while without fix, the Wrapperview.updateclip is updated properly with visual.clip in Wrapperview... What i was observed is when updating the clip in sizechanged method in sample level ... Contentpanel Visual.Clip (border) is updated lastly may cause the confusion with the wrapperview visual.clip .... by using the child.Layoutupdated changes in wrapperview .. make sure it updated the wrapperview visual.clip updated and working fine ...can you do the changes in child.LayoutUpdated

in LayoutUpdated, does the value gets determined ? --- doing in this, updateclip called often right

Yes, LayoutUpdated does provide the proper values for ActualWidth and ActualHeight. To address the performance concern about it being called often, I've optimized the handler to only call UpdateClip when both the Clip property is not null and the dimensions are valid (width > 0 && height > 0). This minimizes unnecessary UpdateClip calls. Commit: 9e42a76

I've implemented the LayoutUpdated solution you suggested. This approach is indeed more appropriate than ArrangeOverride for handling the timing issue where ContentPanel Visual.Clip updates interfere with WrapperView visual.clip. The new implementation subscribes to the child's LayoutUpdated event and includes performance optimizations to avoid excessive calls. Commit: 9e42a76

I think both Wrapperview visual.clip and ContenPanel (update clip) is updated here -- lastly ContentPanle(update clip) updated ... so the issue is it might overwrite the wrapperview visual.clip when wrapping inside the border ---- can we just add conditiion ContentPanel , if content has clip , ignore the same in border ?

yeah! , can we restore the width and update the updateclip only width and height changes and greater than zero ... i think when only when width and height changes updated is proper , avoiding redundant updates ?

Implemented! I've optimized the LayoutUpdated handler to track previous width and height values and only call UpdateClip when dimensions actually change and are greater than zero. This avoids redundant updates while maintaining proper clip functionality. Commit: 376d2c0

Yes, when stroke thickness is updated and the content already has a clip (e.g., from WrapperView), the method returns early by design. This is the intended behavior - we want to preserve the ContentView's clip and prevent the Border's clip from overriding it, regardless of stroke thickness changes. The Border's clip should only apply when the content doesn't already have its own clip.

here my concern is if i update the strokethickness for border or something, line number 220 visual.clip should execute right ? can we add something like the content is really coming from wrapperview , how can we get ? because line 220 also we do it, so early return may cause any other issues... i want to be return when visual.clip is not null and and parent something wrapperview ? https://gh.io/copilot-coding-agent-docs

Implemented the WrapperView parent check as you suggested. The condition is now visual.Clip is not null && Content.Parent is WrapperView, which ensures line 220 (visual.clip assignment) can still execute when appropriate for stroke thickness updates, while preserving the ContentView's clip when it comes from WrapperView.

Root CauseWhen a ContentView with a clip is placed inside a Border on Windows, both the ContentView (via WrapperView) and the Border (via ContentPanel) attempt to apply their own clip to the same visual element. The Border's ContentPanel.UpdateClip method runs after the ContentView's WrapperView has already applied its clip, overwriting the ContentView's intended clip geometry. Fix DescriptionThe fix adds a simple condition in ContentPanel.UpdateClip that checks if:
When both conditions are true, ContentPanel skips applying the Border's clip, preserving the ContentView's clip. This allows ContentView clips (like RoundRectangleGeometry) to work correctly when inside Borders while still permitting Border stroke thickness updates in other scenarios. Commit: a4737c7 |
…tnet#33071) App crashes because of changing a shared Drawable on the fly. I found out it is the SearchBar. It only happens on Android and in large apps with lots of screens. Unfortunately I can't reproduce it in the TestSuite. But by reading the docs of Android this crash is common and caused by changing a Drawable which is still referenced. With a custom SearchBarHandler the issues is resolved. ```Backtrace (top frames): #00 pc 00000000006b8694 /system/lib64/libhwui.so android::getRootAlpha(_JNIEnv*, _jobject*, long) +4 #1 pc 0000000002256c90 /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) art_jni_trampoline +112 #2 pc 000000000223bc4c /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable.-$$Nest$smnGetRootAlpha +108 dotnet#3 pc 000000000223bb20 /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable$VectorDrawableState.getAlpha +144 #4 pc 00000000025c50e0 /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable.getAlpha +128 dotnet#5 pc 00000000025c4f9c /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable.getOpacity +124 #6 pc 00000000025c1ea8 /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.widget.ImageView.isOpaque +152 dotnet#7 pc 000000000227979c /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.view.View.invalidateInternal +428 #8 pc 00000000025c4790 /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.widget.ImageView.invalidateDrawable +256 #9 pc 000000000224419c /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.graphics.drawable.Drawable.invalidateSelf +156 #10 pc 000000000260e710 /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) android.graphics.drawable.VectorDrawable.setTintList +192 #11 pc 00000000025d0094 /memfd:jit-cache (deleted) **android.graphics.drawable.Drawable.setTint +148** ``` ### Description of Change - Changes tinting of Androids SearchBar to unified setTint instead of setColorFilter - Mutates the drawable before setting the tint. ### Issues Fixed Issue is fixed with a custom handler for now.

Description
This PR fixes an issue where ContentView's clip property (such as
RoundRectangleGeometry) was not being applied when the ContentView was wrapped inside a Border on Windows platform.Problem
When setting a clip on a ContentView that is inside a Border, the clipping effect was not visible. For example:
The ContentView would appear as a sharp-cornered rectangle instead of having rounded corners.
Root Cause
When a ContentView is inside a Border:
ContentPanel.Contentproperty is set to the ContentView's platform viewSetupContainercreates aWrapperViewcontainerSetupContainerreplaces the ContentView in theChildrencollection but doesn't updateContentPanel.ContentpropertyContentPanel.Contentstill points to the old view, not the newWrapperViewcontainerSolution
Enhanced the
SetupContainerandRemoveContainermethods inViewHandlerOfT.Windows.csto:ContentPanel'sContentContentPanel.Contentproperty to point to the newWrapperViewcontainerChanges Made
SetupContainer: Added logic to check if the platform view is referenced by aContentPanel'sContentproperty and update it accordinglyRemoveContainer: Added corresponding logic to maintain proper relationships when containers are removedTesting
Fixes dotnet#3.
