This only happens on Android Tablet, and works fine on Andoid Phone and iOS Phone+Tablet.
I already reported this to Xamarin, see here the details: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/issues/15065

Hello,​

Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

Has anyone any idea where to look for a workaroud?

Here is a workaround. You can monitor the touchevent for your MasterDetailPage in custom renderer, when click it, close your Master-Detail Menu.

By the way, MasterDetailPage is obsolete as of version 5.0.0. Please use FlyoutPage instead.

   [assembly: ExportRenderer(typeof(MasterDetailPage), typeof(MyMasterDetailPageRenderer))]  
     
   namespace NavigationDrawerDemo.Droid  
   {  
       internal class MyMasterDetailPageRenderer : MasterDetailPageRenderer  
       {  
           public MyMasterDetailPageRenderer(Context context) : base(context)  
           {  
           }  
     
           public override bool OnTouchEvent(Android.Views.MotionEvent e)  
           {  
               if (e.Action == Android.Views.MotionEventActions.Up)  
                   new Task(CloseDrawers).Start(TaskScheduler.FromCurrentSynchronizationContext());  
     
               return base.OnTouchEvent(e);  
           }  
       }
