Entry lose focus after one change and breacking the app by moving cursor - iOS / Xamarin

There is an issue for that on github: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/14423

I am currently working on the settings page for an app.
After some time I noticed that some entries lose focus after a single change.
Which entries these are is not really random, but also not quite logical to me. It seems like the EntryCells always break in the middle, regardless of the data displayed. In this example app, I have 7 different records displayed 2 times each, so 14 entries. On my iPhone5 - iOS 12.5.4 (I know it's old) entry number 4 through entry number 11 has this problem. I also encountered this with the second beta of iOS 15 on a colleague's iPhone 12 (not the sample app but, the "main" app).

Also the app runs into an error when I try to move the cursor. Error message is also below.

The app runs smoothly with any working input field
The data is displayed and saved correctly even with only one change.
The entry is allowed to be empty.
So the problems are:

  • Loss of focus,
  • no suggestions, at least not for whole words, only for single characters
  • Termination of the app when trying to move the cursor.

Please help me and write me any time if you need more/different information. I have no idea why this behaves this way, but the order of occurrence might have something to do with it and of course the fact that it is CustomEntryCells.

Important to note:
These entries are implemented with CustomEntryCells, so they are ViewCells with 2 labels and one entry.

I'm getting a for me new error message by clicking in an entry, any entry at all, in the simulator.

Link to the video: https://1drv.ms/v/s!AmGVSRXX1eBTgcVIDgoNw17q20ijcw?e=aDXjZ6

I have to click everytime after writing or deleting a single character, but just in some fields.

    Hi niklas-s,

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    The same issue does exist in my test: After scrolling the screen, entering text into the newly loaded Entry on the screen will cause this issue. So you can submit an issue on Github.

    As a workaround, you can try to achieve it through ScrollView and StackLayout.

    First, create a ContentView and add the same Grid inside.

    <ContentView xmlns="http://xamarin.com/schemas/2014/forms"   
                 xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"  
                 x:Class="test.CustomView"  
                 x:Name="this">  
        <ContentView.Content>  
            <Grid x:Name="Grid"  
                  HeightRequest="300"  
                   Margin="0, 4, 0, 4"  
                   Padding="15, 10, 15, 10"  
                   BackgroundColor="#ddd"  
                   BindingContext="{Binding Source={x:Reference this}}">  
                <Grid.RowDefinitions>  
                    <RowDefinition Height="0.2*"/>  
                    <RowDefinition Height="0.3*"/>  
                    <RowDefinition Height="0.5*"/>  
                </Grid.RowDefinitions>  
                <Grid.ColumnDefinitions>  
                    <ColumnDefinition Width="1*"/>  
                </Grid.ColumnDefinitions>  
      
                <Label Text="Example Header"  
                        FontSize="Large"  
                        Grid.Row="0"  
                        Grid.Column="0"/>  
      
                <Entry Text="{Binding TextForEntry}"  
                        TextColor="Black"  
                        BackgroundColor="LightGray"  
                        FontSize="Medium"  
                        Grid.Row="1"  
                        Grid.Column="0"/>  
      
                <Label Text="Example Discription"  
                        FontSize="Small"  
                        Grid.Row="2"  
                        Grid.Column="0"/>  
            </Grid>  
        </ContentView.Content>  
    </ContentView>  
    

    Then, define a BindableProperty for ContentView

    public partial class CustomView : ContentView  
    {  
        public CustomView()  
        {  
            InitializeComponent();  
            //BindingContext = this;  
        }  
      
        public static readonly BindableProperty TextForEntryProperty = BindableProperty.Create(  
                                    nameof(TextForEntry),  
                                    typeof(string),  
                                    typeof(CustomView),  
                                    "test");  
        public string TextForEntry  
        {  
            get => (string)GetValue(TextForEntryProperty);  
            set => SetValue(TextForEntryProperty, value);  
        }  
    }  
    

    xaml:

    <ScrollView>  
        <StackLayout Padding="0,40,0,0">  
            <local:CustomView TextForEntry="12345"/>  
            <local:CustomView TextForEntry="12345"/>  
            ...  
        </StackLayout>  
    </ScrollView>  
    

    Regards,
    Kyle
