I create the project demo use by "dotnew new maui", then I run the demo in Android 7.1.2, and clicked the "Click me" button, the button's width is not changed, the button's text changed to "Clicked", it's wrong, the right text must be "Clicked 1 time".
Why this going on again !!?

Kindly add the GA version to the Last version that worked well list, as of now selected RC3.

I've added new options to make things more clear. Thanks!

with vs 17.3.0 Preview 3.0 [32614.275.main], after clicked the "Click me" button, the button's width is not changed, the button's text changed to "Clicked".

I saw the same issue on Android :

If a Label Text property is empty in XAML (i.e. TEXT="")
When the label Text is updated in code, the label does not display the value.

Workaround:
Set a default Text value to the label (e.g. Text="0.00%" )

This is an issue with the latest 6.0.400

Should be fixed by #8136

UPDATE - I see its moot, given #8136

Note: InvalidateArrange appears to be broken on Android for button.

See Explicitly call InvalidateArrange, where I demonstrate it not resizing to the new text even with a later InvalidateArrange call. Not shown, but I tested other variants, like delaying via Dispatcher.Dispatch, and calling InvalidateArrange on the parent layout.

I did various tests ("Work-arounds #1-#3), to show that the initial sizing logic does correctly work.

In "Work-around #4", I verified that if new MainPage() is made, with the larger text initially, that it does get the size correct.

There must be something that is done during initial creation of the native control, that is not done by a later InvalidateArrange.

Thanks for referencing this - it is probably the same issue.
Anyway - lets see how this gets fixed. I said it before and say again - Xamarin Forms was somewhat flaky but .NET Maui is proving to be even more so.
