[Windows] Binding RTL FlowDirection in Shell causes Flyout MenuIcon and native window controls to overlap #32476

Description

  • When FlowDirection is bound to a ViewModel in a .NET MAUI Shell and changed dynamically to RightToLeft, the Flyout MenuIcon overlaps with the native window control buttons (Minimize, Maximize, Close) on Windows. The issue occurs because the native window control buttons do not change with respect to the FlowDirection when it is updated through data binding.

  • When FlowDirection is set directly in XAML, setting a Title for the Shell causes the title to overlap with the native window control buttons (minimize, maximize, and close).

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run the attached sample RTLIssue 4.zip
  2. Change the FlowDirection as RightToLeft

Expected Behavior

  • The Flyout MenuIcon, Shell title, and native window control buttons should reposition correctly based on the FlowDirection.

  • When FlowDirection is set to RightToLeft, the layout should fully mirror without any overlapping.
