[Bug] CarouselView, widthrequest and heightrequest issue

[juanlao]

Description

Having a CarouselView control with a data template containing a grid does not inherit Width and Height values.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone or download the sample I created on https://github.com/juanlao/xamarincarouselview
2. Run the sample

Expected Behavior

Two carrouselView must be shown with the same images to do a carrouselView.

Actual Behavior

Only the first carrousel view shows the images. That carrousel has a stackpanel on the datatemplate but because the WidthRequest and HeightRequest properties are binded to the carrouselView.
The problem is that I can not define a datatemplate on other xaml to do the binding.

Basic Information

• Version with issue: 4.0.0.425677

• IDE: Visual Studio 2019

• Platform Target Frameworks:

  • Android: 9.0

Hi Juanma. Thanks for the repro sample!. I've been doing some tests.
Updating the sample to Xamarin.Forms 4.3 you will see the following result:

The issue is fixed. Keep in mind that if you upgrade to the latest available version, 4.3.0.819712-pre2, you will have to change the Carousel Layout. The Layout supported is LinearItemsLayout.
