Description

When using <Shell.TitleView> in a .NET MAUI Android application, defining a layout with child elements (such as a Grid containing a Label and a Button) causes the child elements to be cleared immediately upon navigating back using the Shell back button.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Define a Shell.TitleView in XAML:

   <Shell.TitleView>
       <Grid ColumnDefinitions="*,*">
           <Label Text="New Page" />
           <Button Grid.Column="1" Text="Demo button" />
       </Grid>
   </Shell.TitleView>

2. Navigate to the page where this TitleView is used.
3. Press the Shell back button to return to the previous page.

• Expected outcome: The TitleView's child elements should persist and not be cleared after navigating back.
• Actual outcome: On Android, the child elements of the TitleView are cleared immediately after navigating back.
