Issue Details

On iOS 26 (Liquid Glass), a Stepper and Label placed in a HorizontalStackLayout visually overlap after rotating the simulator to landscape orientation. The overlap does not occur in portrait, nor on iOS versions prior to 26.

Root Cause

iOS 26 introduced a Liquid Glass design system where UIStepper renders a glass pill that visually extends beyond the control’s logical frame on the trailing (right) edge, with Layer.MasksToBounds = false. In landscape orientation, this overflow is approximately 18–20pt.
All UIKit measurement APIs (SizeThatFits, IntrinsicContentSize, AlignmentRectInsets) continue to report the logical size of 94×32pt and are unaware of the glass overflow. MAUI’s layout engine relies on these values and positions the adjacent Label at X=94, which falls inside the visible glass pill area.
In portrait orientation, the glass overflow is negligible, so no compensation is required.

Description of Change

GetDesiredSize is overridden in StepperHandler.iOS.cs. When running on iOS 26 or later in landscape orientation, a 20pt width compensation is added to the reported desired size. This causes MAUI’s HorizontalStackLayout to allocate 114pt for the Stepper instead of 94pt, positioning the adjacent Label at X=114—safely outside the glass pill’s visual extent.
Orientation is detected by comparing UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width > Bounds.Height, which is reliable because GetDesiredSize is invoked after the layout transition completes.
A minor namespace update was also made: using System.Drawing → using Microsoft.Maui.Graphics to resolve the Size return type without ambiguity. RectangleF.Empty is explicitly qualified as System.Drawing.RectangleF.Empty.

Issue: #34273 - [.NET10] D10 - Customize cursor position - Rotating simulator makes the button and label overlap
PR: #34325 - [iOS] Fix Stepper layout overlap in landscape on iOS 26
Author: Vignesh-SF3580 (Syncfusion partner contributor)
Platforms Affected: iOS only (iOS 26+ specific)
Labels: platform/ios, area-controls-stepper, version/iOS-26, community ✨, partner/syncfusion

Issue Summary

On iOS 26 (Liquid Glass design system), a Stepper and Label placed inside a HorizontalStackLayout visually overlap after rotating to landscape orientation. The bug is iOS 26+ specific:

• UIStepper renders a Liquid Glass pill that visually extends beyond its logical frame (Layer.MasksToBounds = false)
• All UIKit measurement APIs (SizeThatFits, IntrinsicContentSize, AlignmentRectInsets) still report the logical size (94×32 pt) and are unaware of the glass overflow
• In landscape, the overflow is ~18–20 pt, causing adjacent controls to appear inside the glass pill
• Portrait orientation has negligible overflow — no bug there

The issue was confirmed as a regression starting from 10.0.0-rc2, not reproducible in 9.0.120.

Exhausted: Yes — all remaining Round 5 ideas rely on undocumented UIKit private subview/sublayer internals and are not appropriate for production use.

Selected Fix

Selected Fix: PR's fix — GetDesiredSize override in StepperHandler.iOS.cs

Reason: The PR's handler-level GetDesiredSize override is the MAUI-idiomatic approach. It hooks into the official MAUI measurement pipeline at the correct abstraction level. While Attempt 1 (SizeThatFits) avoids a public API addition, GetDesiredSize is the documented handler contract for custom size reporting and is more robust (doesn't depend on internal MAUI implementation details about which UIKit method gets called for measurement). The PR's fix is well-commented and correctly guarded with OperatingSystem.IsIOS() && OperatingSystem.IsIOSVersionAtLeast(26).

Concerns to flag (minor):

1. Inaccurate comment: "Mac displays are always landscape" — MacCatalyst supports resizable windows
2. Spelling errors in HostApp test page (already flagged by Copilot auto-reviewer)
3. MacCatalyst PublicAPI change not mentioned in PR description table

✅ Final Recommendation: APPROVE

Summary

PR #34325 fixes a confirmed iOS 26 regression where UIStepper's Liquid Glass pill rendering extends ~20pt beyond the control's logical frame in landscape orientation, causing visual overlap with adjacent controls in HorizontalStackLayout. The fix is well-reasoned, correctly placed in the MAUI handler measurement pipeline, and is properly guarded for iOS 26+ only. Tests pass both with and without the fix (Gate: ✅ PASSED on iOS).

---

Root Cause

iOS 26 introduced the Liquid Glass design system. UIStepper renders a glass pill that visually overflows its logical frame by ~20pt on the trailing edge in landscape, with Layer.MasksToBounds = false. All UIKit measurement APIs (SizeThatFits, IntrinsicContentSize, AlignmentRectInsets) still report the pre-glass logical size (94×32 pt) and are unaware of the visual overflow. MAUI's HorizontalStackLayout uses these reported sizes for layout, placing the adjacent Label at X=94 — inside the visible glass pill.

---

Fix Quality

Approach: Override GetDesiredSize in StepperHandler.iOS.cs to add a 20pt width compensation when running on iOS 26+ in landscape orientation.

Strengths:

• ✅ Correct API hook — GetDesiredSize is the MAUI-idiomatic handler-level measurement override
• ✅ Tight guards: OperatingSystem.IsIOS() && OperatingSystem.IsIOSVersionAtLeast(26) correctly excludes MacCatalyst
• ✅ Landscape-only: portrait behavior unchanged
• ✅ Well-commented constant iOSLiquidGlassStepperOverflow = 20 with explanation and issue link
• ✅ Tests cover both rotate-to-landscape and rotate-back-to-portrait scenarios
• ✅ Snapshot baselines for ios, ios-26, and android environments

The agent explored 6 independent alternatives. The hardcoded 20pt offset appeared in every viable alternative — Apple does not expose the glass pill overflow extent through any public UIKit API. The PR's handler-level approach is the most idiomatic choice in MAUI's architecture.

---

Issues Found (Minor — Does Not Block Approval)

🟡 Inaccurate comment in StepperHandler.iOS.cs (~line 39):

"Mac displays are always landscape and UIStepper on Mac has no glass pill overflow."

MacCatalyst apps can run in resizable windows at any aspect ratio, so "always landscape" is incorrect. The fix code itself is correct (OperatingSystem.IsIOS() properly excludes MacCatalyst), but the comment is misleading for future maintainers.

Suggested replacement (already proposed by Copilot reviewer):

// This workaround targets iOS 26+ only; UIStepper on MacCatalyst has not shown the
// same glass pill overflow behavior in testing.

🟡 MacCatalyst PublicAPI file not mentioned in PR description:
The PR's Files Changed table omits src/Core/src/PublicAPI/net-maccatalyst/PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt, which is also changed (because StepperHandler.iOS.cs compiles for both iOS and MacCatalyst TFMs). Minor documentation gap.

🟡 Spelling/grammar errors in HostApp test page (Issue34273.cs):
Already flagged by Copilot auto-reviewer:

• Line 48: "strong" → "string" and unclosed (NOTE: parenthesis
• Line 49: "The tests fails" → "The test fails"
• Line 52: "pree" → "press"

🟡 Test category mismatch:
Tests use [Category(UITestCategories.Editor)]. The scenario involves a Stepper, but since the HostApp page is built around an Editor control for cursor position testing, this category isn't entirely wrong — just slightly indirect.

- ❌ **Don't set `ClipsToBounds = true`** — clips the Liquid Glass pill entirely, removing the iOS 26 design aesthetic
- ❌ **Don't try to read `AlignmentRectInsets` dynamically** — native UIStepper returns (0,0,0,0); the glass overflow is NOT reflected in this property  
- ❌ **Don't try to walk private sublayers** — Liquid Glass internals are undocumented UIKit implementation details that could change any release

---

Cross-Model Validation

6 independent try-fix approaches were explored across 5 AI models. Key finding: the 20pt hardcoded compensation is unavoidable — Apple provides no public API to query the glass pill visual extent. All viable approaches (SizeThatFits override, MeasureOverride partial class, AlignmentRectInsets override, WrapperView container) still require the same empirical 20pt value. The PR's GetDesiredSize override at the handler level is the most MAUI-idiomatic choice.

Issue Details

On iOS 26 (Liquid Glass), a Stepper and Label placed in a HorizontalStackLayout visually overlap after rotating the simulator to landscape orientation. The overlap does not occur in portrait, nor on iOS versions prior to 26.

Root Cause

iOS 26 introduced a Liquid Glass design system where UIStepper renders a glass pill that visually extends beyond the control's logical frame on the trailing (right) edge, with Layer.MasksToBounds = false. In landscape orientation, this overflow is approximately 18–20pt.

All UIKit measurement APIs (SizeThatFits, IntrinsicContentSize, AlignmentRectInsets) continue to report the logical size of 94×32pt and are unaware of the glass overflow. MAUI's layout engine relies on these values and positions the adjacent Label at X=94, which falls inside the visible glass pill area. In portrait orientation, the glass overflow is negligible, so no compensation is required.

Description of Change

GetDesiredSize is overridden in StepperHandler.iOS.cs. When running on iOS 26 or later in landscape orientation, a 20pt width compensation is added to the reported desired size. This causes MAUI's HorizontalStackLayout to allocate 114pt for the Stepper instead of 94pt, positioning the adjacent Label at X=114—safely outside the glass pill's visual extent.

Orientation is detected by comparing UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds.Width > Bounds.Height, which is reliable because GetDesiredSize is invoked after the layout transition completes.

A minor namespace update was also made: using System.Drawing → using Microsoft.Maui.Graphics to resolve the Size return type without ambiguity. RectangleF.Empty is explicitly qualified as System.Drawing.RectangleF.Empty.

Code Review: ⚠️ Issues Found

Code Review — PR #34325

✅ Looks Good

• Core logic is sound. The GetDesiredSize override correctly calls base.GetDesiredSize first, then applies the empirical 20pt compensation only under the precise conditions: iOS only (not MacCatalyst), iOS 26+, and landscape orientation. The guards are correct and layered well.
• MacCatalyst correctly excluded. OperatingSystem.IsIOS() returns false on MacCatalyst. The comment in the code explains this clearly. This is the right pattern for a file that compiles for both TFMs.
• Comment quality is excellent. The inline comments in GetDesiredSize explain the root cause, the empirical nature of the constant, and future maintenance guidance with a link to the issue. This is exemplary.
• PublicAPI.Unshipped.txt updated correctly for both net-ios and net-maccatalyst.
• Namespace change is correct. Switching from System.Drawing to Microsoft.Maui.Graphics for Size and qualifying RectangleF.Empty as System.Drawing.RectangleF.Empty avoids ambiguity cleanly.
• UI tests added with VerifyScreenshot(retryTimeout: TimeSpan.FromSeconds(2)) — correct pattern for orientation-change tests where layout settles asynchronously.

🟡 Suggestions

1. Test method names and category reference "Editor" instead of "Stepper"

File: src/Controls/tests/TestCases.Shared.Tests/Tests/Issues/Issue34273.cs

Problem: The test methods are named EditorNoOverlapAfterRotateToLandscape and EditorNoOverlapAfterRotateToPortrait, and use [Category(UITestCategories.Editor)]. The issue is about a Stepper overlapping a Label due to the Liquid Glass glass pill — the Editor is a supporting element in the repro page (used for cursor position binding), not the subject of the overlap.

This naming is misleading: the snapshot files are also named EditorNoOverlapAfterRotateToLandscape.png and EditorNoOverlapAfterRotateToPortrait.png.

Recommendation:

// ✅ Better names:
[Category(UITestCategories.Stepper)]
public void StepperNoOverlapAfterRotateToLandscape() { ... }

public void StepperNoOverlapAfterRotateToPortrait() { ... }

Snapshot files should be renamed accordingly (or re-recorded with the corrected test names). Using UITestCategories.Stepper ensures this test is picked up in Stepper CI runs rather than Editor runs.

---

2. UIScreen.MainScreen is deprecated on iOS 16+

File: src/Core/src/Handlers/Stepper/StepperHandler.iOS.cs

Problem:

var screen = UIKit.UIScreen.MainScreen;
bool isLandscape = screen.Bounds.Width > screen.Bounds.Height;

UIScreen.MainScreen was deprecated in iOS 16. Apple recommends obtaining the screen from the window scene (view.window?.windowScene?.screen).

Recommendation: Access screen bounds through the platform view's window scene:

var screen = PlatformView?.Window?.WindowScene?.Screen ?? UIKit.UIScreen.MainScreen;
bool isLandscape = screen.Bounds.Width > screen.Bounds.Height;

This uses the non-deprecated path when a window scene is available (the common case once the view is in the hierarchy), and falls back to MainScreen for robustness. Note: GetDesiredSize is called during layout, so PlatformView.Window may be null in early measurement passes — the fallback is therefore important.

Alternatively, if PlatformView.Window is null (meaning the view isn't yet attached to a scene), landscape detection could simply return false (i.e., assume portrait/no-compensation), since the first real layout pass after the view is visible will re-measure correctly.

---

3. HostApp label instructions describe cursor positioning, not the overlap repro

File: src/Controls/tests/TestCases.HostApp/Issues/Issue34273.cs

Problem: The six Label texts in the HostApp page describe how to use the Stepper to control cursor position in an Editor — a different (older?) issue scenario. They don't guide a tester toward the actual bug: "rotate to landscape and observe the Stepper and Label visually overlap."

This won't affect automated screenshot tests, but makes the page confusing for anyone doing manual validation.

Recommendation: Replace the instructional Labels with ones relevant to the overlap issue, or at minimum add a header Label like:

new Label { Text = "Rotate to landscape — Stepper and Label should NOT overlap (iOS 26 fix)." }

---

4. Android snapshot baselines are included but the fix is iOS-only

Files: src/Controls/tests/TestCases.Android.Tests/snapshots/android/EditorNoOverlapAfterRotateToLandscape.png, ...Portrait.png

Observation: The test is guarded with #if IOS || ANDROID, so it runs on Android too. Android doesn't have this bug (no glass pill), so the Android snapshots serve as a baseline for the unaffected platform. This is acceptable, but worth noting: Android orientation change may have slightly different timing characteristics. If the Android screenshots become a source of flakiness in CI, restricting the test to #if IOS would be reasonable (with a note that Android is unaffected by design).
