Label italic width incorrect

[nk54]

Description

I have a HorizontalStackLayout (same result with StackLayout) that contains a Label and a CheckBox.
If I set the FontAttributes to Italic, the Label's width is incorrect : it's the same size as normal text but being italic, the text is cut.

I found a workaround by setting the text in the span (Label>FormattedText>FormattedString>Span).
I did a custom control (ItalicLabel) to hack the bug. But I prefer to use the Label directly.

PS : Margin/Padding doesn't fix the issue (I tried this before the Span hack).

Here is the XAML

<HorizontalStackLayout Spacing="8"> <!-- Normal Text not cut --> <Label Text="Bool" VerticalOptions="Center" /> <!-- Italic Text cut : 80% of last char missing --> <Label FontAttributes="Italic" Text="Bool" VerticalOptions="Center" /> <!-- Text italic not cut --> <Label VerticalOptions="Center"> <Label.FormattedText> <FormattedString> <Span FontAttributes="Italic" Text="Bool" /> </FormattedString> </Label.FormattedText> </Label> <CheckBox IsChecked="{Binding IsChecked}" /> </HorizontalStackLayout>

Here are some screenshots (code format isn't readable...) of both XAML and the result
