Border has a 1 pixel thickness even when it's thickness property is set to 0.

Description

I've got two labels in a vertical stack layout surround by a border so I can round the corners. If you look on the right of the image, the yellow and blue labels have a tiny gap in between which I can't seem to get rid of. The same can be seen between the purple and green.

If I remove the border the gap goes away. Here's the XAML of the right-hand VerticalStackLayout with the yellow and blue labels inside.

       <VerticalStackLayout Grid.Column="1"
                            Spacing="0"
                            >
           <Border StrokeThickness="0"
                   Margin="5,5,5,0"
                   Padding="0"
                   >
               <Border.StrokeShape>
                   <RoundRectangle CornerRadius="3,3,0,0" />
               </Border.StrokeShape>
               <Label BackgroundColor="{StaticResource Secondary}"
                      HeightRequest="30"
                      HorizontalOptions="Fill" />
           </Border>
           <Border StrokeThickness="0"
                   Margin="5,0,5,5"
                   Padding="0">
               <Border.StrokeShape>
                   <RoundRectangle CornerRadius="0,0,0,0" />
               </Border.StrokeShape>
               <Label BackgroundColor="{StaticResource Tertiary}"
                      HeightRequest="30"
                      HorizontalOptions="Fill" />
               
           </Border>
       </VerticalStackLayout>

Surprisingly, if I was to change the Border StrokeThickness to any value e.g. 2 and change it back to 0 with hot-reload enabled, the gap will close and look normal as you can see on the right (blue and yellow labels).

Unfortunately as soon as I restart my app or start debugging again and reload, the gap comes back.

Steps to Reproduce

1- Create a VerticalStackLayout and put a view in there like a Label surrounded by a border. 2- Set the stroke thickness to 0 and notice that there's still a tiny gap in between.

Im seeing the same issue on iOS, Border appears to have an extra 1px margin in some/all circumstances. Im pretty sure I posted this issue a year or so ago, but haven't really used Maui again until recently.

EDIT: In fact I definitely did post about this, I remember looking at screenshots created by MS tester that said it didn't have the problem, but it did when you zoomed in, you could see the 1px border that shouldn't be there.

Anyway, for now Ive switched back to Frame, its ok for my immediate needs.

I've had to do the same for the time being. I hadn't really noticed it until I recently had to have two items lie flush with eachother. #7764 seems to be an old version of the problem that seems like it was fixed and then broke again.
