How to Resolve Rendering Issues When Specifying a Smaller HeightRequest in .NET MAUI TextInputLayout (SfTextInputLayout)?

This section explains how to resolve rendering issues when specifying a smaller HeightRequest in the .NET MAUI TextInputLayout control.

Step 1: Modify the Styles.xaml file.
To use the TextInputLayout control with a smaller height, comment out the setter property of the MinimumHeightRequest for the Entry control located in the Styles.xaml file within the Styles folder. Please refer to the following image.

Note: Comment out the setter property of the MinimumHeightRequest for the control used as the InputView of the .NET MAUI TextInputLayout control.

Step 2: Configure InputViewPadding
For a specific height lower than the default value, override the default padding using the InputViewPadding instead of setting a HeightRequest lower than the default. This approach helps to avoid rendering issues in the TextInputLayout control.

XAML:

   <StackLayout VerticalOptions="Center">    
       <inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout Hint="InputViewPadding"             
                                      ContainerType="Outlined"
                                      InputViewPadding="1">
           <Entry />
       </inputLayout:SfTextInputLayout>
   </StackLayout>
