Entry no focus possible when table section title is set

[tibuprophen]

Description

In a specific page layout, entry cells are not able to focus with a click (on simulators) or touch (on real device). This issue is new, but I am not sure when it first appeared.

Steps to Reproduce

1. New Project
2. Create the page layout like this:

<VerticalStackLayout>
    <TableView>
        <TableRoot>
            <!-- Removing Title property fixes the issue --> 
            <TableSection Title="Test">
                <EntryCell />
            </TableSection>
        </TableRoot>
    </TableView>
    <!-- Removing one of the EntryCell fixes the issue -->
    <Entry />
</VerticalStackLayout>

3. Run the App on a simulator or real device. The Bug appears as described.
4. I am not 100% sure, but some other Visual Elements are generating the same issue.

Relevant log output

After the first "missed" touch (when it should focus) the console is spammed with that:

Tested with .NET 9, but Bug still appears on Android!

I have not expected anything else: Microsoft deprecated TableView and has let the developer alone, again.

This Issue can closed due to deprecations.
