Navigation Issue

Type of issue

Code doesn't work

Description

Downloaded the following code: https://github.com/dotnet/maui-samples/tree/main/8.0/UserInterface/Layouts/AbsoluteLayoutDemos The menu on the MainPage does not work under Windows emulator. When app opens, I can click on a menu item and navigate to a page. When I return to the menu I cannot navigate to anymore pages. Menu DOES work under Android emulator as expected. Asked Copilot and the last suggestion which didn't work, is included below:

`using System.Diagnostics; using System.Windows.Input;

namespace AbsoluteLayoutDemos { public partial class MainPage : ContentPage { public ICommand NavigateCommand { get; private set; }

    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
        Debug.WriteLine("MainPage constructor called");

        NavigateCommand = new Command<Type>(
            async (Type pageType) =>
            {
                Debug.WriteLine($"Navigating to {pageType.Name}");
                Page page = (Page)Activator.CreateInstance(pageType);
                await Navigation.PushAsync(page);
                Debug.WriteLine($"Navigation stack count: {Navigation.NavigationStack.Count}");
            });

        BindingContext = this;
    }

    protected override void OnAppearing()
    {
        base.OnAppearing();
        Debug.WriteLine("MainPage appeared");
        BindingContext = this; // Ensure BindingContext is set
    }

    protected override void OnDisappearing()
    {
        base.OnDisappearing();
        Debug.WriteLine("MainPage disappeared");
    }
}

} ` I noticed other samples didn't work as well.

P.S. Couldn't figure out how to insert a link correctly. Have to copy text and paste. Please fix this issue as well or post instructions on different options available such as what does a slash command do.
