Pull request overview
Fixes an Android Shell navigation layout jump when transitioning while the soft keyboard (IME) is visible—especially when navigating to destinations with Shell.NavBarIsVisible=false.
Changes:
- Dismisses the soft keyboard before committing the fragment transaction in
ShellRenderer.SwitchFragment. - Adds a HostApp repro page for issue #34584 (keyboard open → navigate to NavBar hidden page).
- Adds an Android UI test intended to validate the destination content is not laid out under the status bar.

| src/Controls/tests/TestCases.Shared.Tests/Tests/Issues/Issue34584.cs | Adds an Android UI test to verify final element Y-position is below the status bar after navigation. |
Update the test to trigger navigation from Entry.Completed instead of a button tap, ensuring the soft keyboard (IME) remains visible at the moment navigation occurs. This makes the test deterministic and accurately reproduces the original issue scenario.

## Summary Enables the copilot-evaluate-tests gh-aw workflow to run on fork PRs by adding `forks: ["*"]` to the `pull_request` trigger and removing the fork guard from `Checkout-GhAwPr.ps1`. ## Changes 1. **copilot-evaluate-tests.md**: Added `forks: ["*"]` to opt out of gh-aw auto-injected fork activation guard. Scoped `Checkout-GhAwPr.ps1` step to `workflow_dispatch` only (redundant for other triggers since platform handles checkout). 2. **copilot-evaluate-tests.lock.yml**: Recompiled via `gh aw compile` — fork guard removed from activation `if:` conditions. 3. **Checkout-GhAwPr.ps1**: Removed the `isCrossRepository` fork guard. Updated header docs and restore comments to accurately describe behavior for all trigger×fork combinations (including corrected step ordering). 4. **gh-aw-workflows.instructions.md**: Updated all stale references to the removed fork guard. Documented `forks: ["*"]` opt-in, clarified residual risk model for fork PRs, and updated troubleshooting table. ## Security Model Fork PRs are safe because: - Agent runs in **sandboxed container** with all credentials scrubbed - Output limited to **1 comment** via `safe-outputs: add-comment: max: 1` - Agent **prompt comes from base branch** (`runtime-import`) — forks cannot alter instructions - Pre-flight check catches missing `SKILL.md` if fork isn't rebased on `main` - No workspace code is executed with `GITHUB_TOKEN` (checkout without execution) ## Testing - ✅ `workflow_dispatch` tested against fork PR #34621 - ✅ Lock.yml statically verified — fork guard removed from `if:` conditions - ⏳ `pull_request` trigger on fork PRs can only be verified post-merge (GitHub Actions reads lock.yml from default branch) --------- Co-authored-by: github-actions[bot] <41898282+github-actions[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>
Update ContentShouldNotRenderUnderStatusBarAfterNavigatingWithKeyboardOpen to poll for transient layout issues, ensuring TargetLabel is never briefly rendered under the status bar during navigation with the keyboard open. This makes the test more robust against temporary UI glitches.
|
Thanks for the feedback! I’ve updated the test to better capture the issue by sampling the layout position over a short period after navigation, instead of relying on a single snapshot. This allows detecting transient states where the content is briefly rendered under the status bar when the keyboard is open |

🤖 Automated review — alternative fix proposed
The expert-reviewer evaluation compared the PR fix against #2 automatically generated candidates and selected try-fix-2 as the strongest fix.
Why: try-fix-2 wins because it addresses the exact bug with a narrower, safer fix — gating IME dismissal on NavBarIsVisible=false destinations only (plus skipping initial load), which directly resolves the code review's blast-radius warning about all Shell tab switches losing the keyboard. The PR's fix is conceptually correct but is unscoped, Gate ❌ FAILED, and the test had dead code issues. try-fix-2 passed tests and resolves both the bug and the code review concerns with a minimal 1-file change.
Please consider applying the candidate diff below (or use it as guidance). Once you push an update, this workflow will re-trigger and re-evaluate.

… test reliability - Dismiss soft keyboard only when navigating to pages with NavBarIsVisible=false - Limit behavior to animated transitions to avoid impacting normal navigation - Simplify Issue34584 test to use deterministic layout validation - Remove polling and Thread.Sleep for more stable UI tests
Thanks for the suggestion. Good point about the blast radius. I’ve scoped the keyboard dismissal to only apply when navigating to destinations where NavBarIsVisible is false, and only during animated transitions. Additionally, I simplified the Issue34584 test to validate the final layout state using a deterministic assertion, removing the previous polling and Thread.Sleep. This keeps the fix targeted while avoiding side effects during normal navigation. |

🔬 Code Review — Deep Analysis
Code Review — PR #34621
Independent Assessment
What this changes: ShellRenderer.SwitchFragment on Android gains a new pre-flight block: before committing the fragment transaction, if the destination page has Shell.NavBarIsVisible = false and the soft keyboard is currently showing, the keyboard is dismissed via HideSoftInput(). The block is guarded by animate == true to exclude the initial shell load. Two new test files register an Android UI regression test.
Inferred motivation: When the soft keyboard is open during a Shell tab switch to a page without a navigation bar, Android continues to report IME-related WindowInsets during the new fragment's first layout pass. Because the destination has no toolbar to consume the inset offset, the content is measured as if it should sit under the status bar — then jumps once the IME dismisses. Pre-emptively dismissing the keyboard before FragmentTransaction ensures stable insets at first measure.
Is the approach sound? Yes, for the specific scenario. Dismissing the keyboard before the fragment transition is the correct place to intervene in the Compatibility renderer — it's synchronous, happens before FragmentTransaction.commit, and touches no shared state. The guard on !NavBarIsVisible narrows the blast radius appropriately so normal navigation that wants the keyboard open (e.g., a search bar that carries focus across pages) is unaffected.
Reconciliation with PR Narrative
Author claims: The root cause is that SwitchFragment commits while the IME is still visible, causing incorrect WindowInsets on first layout of the destination page. The fix dismisses the keyboard before the transaction. A UI test validates that TargetLabel.Y > 5 after navigation.
Agreement: Root cause analysis matches the code. The fix is correctly scoped to the Compatibility Shell renderer (the only Android Shell handler in this codebase — the non-compat Handlers/Shell/ directory has no Android implementation). Gating on animate=true correctly excludes the OnElementSet initial load (line 213) where the keyboard is never open.
Disagreement/concerns: Two test-validity issues and one architectural concern are described in Findings below.
Findings
⚠️ Warning — GetOrCreateContent() eagerly creates destination pages
File: ShellRenderer.cs:223
var destinationPage = shellContent?.GetOrCreateContent();IShellContentController.GetOrCreateContent() creates and caches the page when a ContentTemplate is in use and the page hasn't been visited yet (it runs the constructor, DI resolution via services.GetService(template.Type), and ContentCache = result). This is called on every Shell tab switch while the keyboard is open, solely to read one attached-property value. For apps with lazy-loaded Shell routes this triggers premature page initialization.
Suggested mitigation: Check the ShellContent itself first:
var shellContent = newItem?.CurrentItem?.CurrentItem as IShellContentController;
// Prefer checking the ShellContent first (set in XAML); only inflate the page when necessary
var navBarVisible = shellContent is BindableObject sbo && sbo.IsSet(Shell.NavBarIsVisibleProperty)
? Shell.GetNavBarIsVisible(sbo)
: Shell.GetNavBarIsVisible(shellContent?.GetOrCreateContent());
if (!navBarVisible) { … }For the common case where Shell.NavBarIsVisible="False" is set on the ShellContent in XAML, no page creation is needed.
⚠️ Warning — Test may not reliably exercise the fix (PressEnter timing)
File: Issue34584.cs (SharedTests):25
App.PressEnter();
App.WaitForElement("TargetLabel");The test navigates by pressing Enter on the Entry, which fires IME_ACTION_DONE. On many Android devices and IME implementations, the system auto-dismisses the keyboard as part of IME_ACTION_DONE handling, potentially before the entry.Completed callback chain triggers GoToAsync → CurrentItem changed → SwitchFragment. If the keyboard is already dismissed at the point IsSoftInputShowing() is evaluated, the fix never fires and the test passes on an unpatched build.
The NavigateButton (AutomationId "NavigateButton") already exists in the HostApp but has no click handler. Wiring it up and navigating via button tap while the Entry remains focused (without pressing Enter) would produce a more reliable reproduction of the original scenario — the keyboard stays up until the layout transition begins.
⚠️ Warning — Assertion threshold too weak to catch partial regression
File: Issue34584.cs (SharedTests):31
Assert.That(rect.Y, Is.GreaterThan(5), "TargetLabel should not render under the status bar");The Android status bar is 24dp tall, which translates to 48 px at 2× density and 72 px at 3× density (both common on mid-range to flagship devices). A TargetLabel at Y = 6 px still renders visually under the status bar at any standard screen density. This assertion only catches the most extreme form of the regression.
Recommended improvements:
- Use
Is.GreaterThan(50)as a conservative 2× density lower bound, or - Read the actual status bar inset:
WindowInsetsCompat.GetInsets(WindowInsetsCompat.Type.StatusBars()).Top, or - Add
VerifyScreenshot(retryTimeout: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2))for visual regression coverage.
💡 Suggestion — NavigateButton dead code in HostApp
File: Issue34584.cs (HostApp):26
var navigateButton = new Button
{
Text = "Navigate",
AutomationId = "NavigateButton"
};navigateButton has no Clicked handler and is never referenced in the test. Either wire it up (see the PressEnter finding above) or remove it to keep the HostApp tidy.
💡 Suggestion — Missing trailing newline
File: Issue34584.cs (SharedTests):35
The file ends without a trailing newline (\ No newline at end of file in the diff). Add a newline after #endif.
Devil's Advocate
Challenge — "The animate guard proves the fix is exercised":
OnElementPropertyChanged always calls SwitchFragment(manager, view, item) with the default animate=true, so the if (animate) guard is always true for user-initiated navigation. The false argument in GoToAsync("//DestinationPage", false) is the MAUI animation flag; it does NOT propagate to SwitchFragment.animate in the Compatibility renderer. So the fix IS active during the test's navigation. The sub-agent's "critical: animate mismatch" finding was incorrect and has been removed. The real concern is whether IsSoftInputShowing() returns true at that moment — see the PressEnter finding.
Challenge — "GetOrCreateContent side effects are harmless":
For the most common usage (direct Content assignment, not ContentTemplate), GetOrCreateContent() just returns the already-existing page with no side effects. The concern only applies to ContentTemplate-based lazy routes. Given this is the Compatibility renderer and most compat-layer apps use direct Content, the blast radius is limited. Still worth fixing for correctness.
Challenge — "The Y>5 assertion is sufficient":
The prior agent had flagged Y>0; the author moved it to Y>5. But 5 px (which at 3× density is 1.67 dp) is still far below a 24 dp status bar. On a 1× device (e.g., emulator at default settings), even Y=20 would still render under the bar. The threshold should be at least 20 dp worth to be meaningful.
Challenge — "This is the compat renderer; does the non-compat handler have the same issue?":
The Handlers/Shell/ directory has no Android implementation — Android exclusively uses the Compatibility ShellRenderer. So there is no duplicate fix location to worry about.
CI Status
CI is partially pending (Windows integration tests, Android device tests not yet complete). The macOS/iOS integration tests, Helix unit tests, and build jobs all pass. The Android device test run (RunOnAndroid) is still in progress. Cannot issue LGTM until Android device CI completes.
Verdict: NEEDS_CHANGES
Confidence: medium
Summary: The core fix is correct and well-scoped — dismissing the keyboard pre-emptively in SwitchFragment when the destination page has no nav bar is the right intervention point, and the animate guard correctly excludes the initial shell load. However, the regression test has a meaningful validity risk: App.PressEnter() may auto-dismiss the keyboard before IsSoftInputShowing() is evaluated, potentially making the test pass even on an unpatched build. The NavigateButton exists but is unwired — connecting it and navigating via button tap would produce a more reliable test. The GetOrCreateContent() eager creation is a minor architectural concern worth addressing with a two-line fix. CI is still pending on Android device tests.

Code Review Impact on Try-Fix
The code review's three warnings directly shaped the try-fix exploration. The GetOrCreateContent() eager-creation concern led try-fix-3 to use IShellContentController.Page instead. The test-reliability warning (PressEnter timing) caused all three try-fix attempts that touched tests to switch to App.Tap("NavigateButton"). The assertion-threshold warning was addressed by all candidates using Is.GreaterThan(50). The code review also identified the blast-radius of the PR's approach, which led try-fix-1 through try-fix-4 to explore fundamentally different mechanisms rather than variations on keyboard dismissal.

Winner: pr-plus-reviewer
Rationale: The PR's core fix (dismissing IME before the fragment transaction) is the simplest, most explicit, and easiest to reason about. It is correctly scoped to the exact scenario that causes the bug (animated Shell tab switch to NavBarIsVisible=false destination with IME visible) and passes Gate. The pr-plus-reviewer candidate addresses all three code review warnings:
- Replaces
GetOrCreateContent()with a BindableObject direct-check to avoid eager ContentTemplate instantiation - Wires
NavigateButtonso the test exercises the fix via button-tap (keyboard stays open through transition) - Strengthens the assertion to
Is.GreaterThan(50)for a meaningful status-bar lower bound
While try-fix-4 targets the deepest root cause layer (SafeAreaExtensions.cs), it modifies a Core-layer component for a Controls/Shell scenario — incorrect abstraction and higher blast radius. try-fix-1 through try-fix-3 are more complex than the PR's straightforward dismiss-then-navigate pattern without offering better safety or clarity. The PR's fix passes Gate; with the reviewer improvements it also addresses all code review concerns.
Summary
A community PR fixing an Android Shell layout jump when navigating with the keyboard open to a NavBarIsVisible=false destination. The core fix (dismiss IME before fragment transaction) is correct, well-scoped, and Gate-verified. The reviewer improvements (lazy NavBarIsVisible check, stronger test assertion, button-driven navigation) round out the PR to address all code review warnings. All 4 try-fix candidates passed tests but none is simpler or safer than the improved PR fix.
Root Cause
ShellRenderer.SwitchFragment commits the Android FragmentTransaction while the soft keyboard is still reporting WindowInsets. The destination page (which has no toolbar to consume the inset offset) receives stale IME insets on its first layout pass, causing content to be measured at y=0 (under the status bar). Once the IME settles, a fresh inset dispatch corrects the layout — but produces a visible jump.
Fix Quality
The PR's fix is correct. The pr-plus-reviewer candidate is marginally better: it avoids triggering eager ContentTemplate page creation via GetOrCreateContent() on every tab switch with keyboard open, and the test is more reliable (button navigation keeps keyboard open through the transition) and uses a meaningful assertion threshold. Both Gate and try-fix results confirm the fix resolves the regression. No regressions found in other Shell navigation scenarios.

During
ShellRenderer.SwitchFragment, the fragment transaction is committed while the IME is still visible. Android continues to report IME-relatedWindowInsets, causing the new layout to be measured with incorrect top insets.Once the IME state stabilizes, the layout is corrected, resulting in a visible jump.
Fix
Dismiss the soft keyboard before performing the fragment transaction:
IsSoftInputShowingHideSoftInput()prior toFragmentTransactionThis ensures that
WindowInsetsare stable before the new layout is measured.Result
Testing
Added a UI test (
Issue34584) that:EntryShell.NavBarIsVisible="False"Y > 0)Note: The test validates final layout correctness, not visual animation.
