Avalonia TextBox in AvaloniaView does not stretch on Android

[emilsteen]

If you add an TextBox (probably any control) in an AvaloniaView, as in the MauiSample in this repo, it does not stretch.
The same TextBox in a "pure" Avalonia project always stretches to the full parent width.
It always adjusts the width to the initial text width.
If you try this in Windows (with the latest commit in this repo), it does stretch, but not to the full width.

Is this a known issue and is there a workaround?
I've just ran out of ideas to workaround this, except setting a fixed Width.

I've made a test repository while testing this and tried to remove all other reasons that stretching did not work.

@emilsteen i don't reproduce on windows with the following code

<VerticalStackLayout HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="Center">
    <maui:AvaloniaView HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand">
        <ava:TextBox Text="Maui Avalonia TextBox" HorizontalAlignment="Stretch"/>
    </maui:AvaloniaView>
    <Entry Text="Maui Entry"/>
</VerticalStackLayout>

Tank you for the feedback, @cedric56!
I tried your code in the AvaloniaMauiHybrid example and got really strange behavior.

The Maui Avalonia Textbox has full width when the mouse is hoovering the Textbox and shrinks when the mouse is not hoovering. Typing in the Textbox can only be done when the mouse is hoovering and when a key is pressed the Textbox loses focus and it shrinks again. I've tried it on two different computers with Windows 10.

Although, it is a big issue that it does not work at all on Windows, that is not a concern for me. My product is currently only in production on Android.

What does your example look like on Android, for you?

Well i have the same behavior as you in android. For windows this was experimental, forced to note that it does not work at all. On the other hand, for maui support in avalonia it works.

Thank you for confirming the issue.
I'm currently using this while testing a page by page conversion from MAUI to Avalonia. So, I don't see that the stretching issue will be critical.
