Description

On iOS, when I use an Entry with IsPassword set to true and toggle the IsPassword property (to show/hide text), the Entry loses the previously typed text if I type more after setting IsPassword back to true. The issue does not occur on other platforms.

Code snippet:

<Entry IsPassword="True" x:Name="entry" Background="Gray" Placeholder="Password" ReturnType="Done"/> <Button Text="click" Clicked="Button_Clicked"/>

private void Button_Clicked(object sender, EventArgs e) { if (entry.IsPassword) { entry.IsPassword = false; } else { entry.IsPassword = true; } }

Steps to Reproduce

1. Run the app on iOS.
2. Type some text in the Entry (password hidden, dots shown).
3. Tap the button to set the IsPassword to false (text is now visible).
4. Tap the Button again to set IsPassword to true (text hidden again).
5. Try typing additional text in the Entry.

Output:

The previously entered text in the Entry is cleared when typing new text after setting IsPassword back to true. This only happens on iOS.

Expected:

The Entry should retain the previously typed text when toggling IsPassword, as it does on other platforms.
