Is there an existing issue for this?
Did you read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file?
Current Behavior
Since upgrading my project from MAUI 7 to 8, the functionality of the MCT Popup View on Android is somehow broken. A lot of 3rd party controls (not only MCT controls) inside the Popup now have rendering problems, e.g. it looks like their own default style is not fully applied, sometimes text is not properly rendered, etc.
For the sake of simplicity for this bug report, I created a minimal reproducible example just with MCT controls:
- When the
AvatarView is put on a normal ContentPage it is displayed as expected
- When the same
AvatarView is put in a Popup view, the inner text is misplaced
<toolkit:AvatarView Text="AB" />
In normal Page:

In Popup - inner text is aligned top, not centered:

Expected Behavior
No layouting/styling issues of controls inside a Popup view, e.g. initials are properly centered in the popup of the provided example project.
Steps To Reproduce
- Open and run the provided sample project on Android
- Observe on the main page that the
AvatarView looks as expected
- Click the "Open Popup" button
- See that the same
AvatarView in the popup has a misplaced text

Environment
- .NET MAUI CommunityToolkit: 7.0.0
- OS: Android 33
- .NET MAUI: 8.0.3
Anything else?
Just to emphasis again: This bug report is not about the AvatarView itself. I encounter also rendering/styling problems with other controls that I put into a Popup view, since I upgraded my project to .NET8/MAUI8. I just picked the AvatarView as an example to demonstrate a general problem with the Popup since the upgrade.
What I can see so far is that it only affects Android. When running as Windows App there are no such problems, and on iOS I'm not able to test.
