Maui app softlock

[Mielesgames]

Description

I accidentally found a way to softlock my .net maui app.
I was doing a final check on my application when I realised you can softlock your maui app by simply switching tabs.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Enable the tabbar
2. Have 2 or more tabs
3. One page has to load a bunch of data (for example SQL)
4. Show the data in a CollectionView
5. Swap between the page with the SQL data and another page trough the tabbar
6. After switching 3 times or more (depends on the amount of SQL data that gets loaded) your app will stop loading.

I wish I could, but there is no way to share my saved SQL data (and I forgot how to load SQL data so I can't exactly replicate it😅)
Repro, its not accurate but it still kind of replicates the issue

Version with bug

7.0 (current)

Last version that worked well

Unknown/Other

Affected platforms

Android, I was not able test on other platforms

Affected platform versions

No idea

Did you find any workaround?

Sort of, its not practical since only the user can do that.
you can simply close the app and re-open it.

Relevant log output

No output

I know I will get the message that I have to add a repo, but the project I have cannot be shared and I completely forgot how to load SQL data.
(I have to go back to school in a few days, which is probably not long enough for me to learn SQL again)

And this probably also works when you just try to load alot of items, for example a Label

Indeed, without any form of reproduction this is near impossible to diagnose or fix.

I will try to make a small repro, but I won't guarantee that I will be able to complete it in time

This is not the exact issue, but it's the closest I can get without having to use SQL/MVVM, when you do this with an SQL database that keeps growing every day it's a softlock you can only fix by re-opening the app, with this version you have to switch a bit faster between them for it to happen
