ClearButtonVisibility property doesn't work inside a frame in .net maui

Question

I put the ClearButtonVisibility in an entry and the entry inside a fame and the Clear Button Visibility doesn't work, how do i make it work

int the xaml code i have this:

<Frame Margin="35,0,35,0" Padding="0">
    <Entry Placeholder="This is a freaky entry"
           ClearButtonVisibility="WhileEditing"/>
</Frame>

As a sanity check, if your remove the frame, it works as expected? You clicked on Entry, to give it focus? — ToolmakerSteve, Jan 26 '23 at 18:21

The ClearButtonVisibility property can be used to control whether an Entry displays a clear button. You can set it to WhileEditing, that indicates a clear button will be displayed in the Entry, while it has focus and text.

However, several Github issues for ClearButtonVisibility could be found.

Entry ClearButton does not clear the text? #9954

ClearButtonVisibility is not working #6360

You could follow this thread. Referring to the above thread, i think you could update your Visual Studio. Or remove Padding in VerticalStackLayout as ismasanchez said.

For more info, you could refer to .NET MAUI Entry.
