It would be very helpful if you could test the resulting artifacts from this PR and let us know in a comment if this change resolves your issue. Thank you!

Issue Details

  • On iOS, a Picker does not apply CharacterSpacing to the selected item text during initial load — the text appears without spacing at first. However, if CharacterSpacing is set or updated after the control has already loaded, it applies correctly.

Root Cause

  • When the Picker handler initializes, CharacterSpacing is mapped before SelectedIndex, so by the time the spacing is applied there is no text yet — making it a no-op. Additionally, any programmatic SelectedIndex change afterwards overwrites the text as a plain string, wiping the spacing that was applied earlier.

Description of Change

  • Defer applying CharacterSpacing until after the view is fully loaded (so the text is already set), and re-apply it every time the picker text is updated.

Issues Fixed

Fixes #34955

Validated the behaviour in the following platforms

  • Windows
  • Android

Pull request overview

Fixes iOS/Mac Catalyst Picker so CharacterSpacing is applied on initial load and preserved when the selected item text is updated.

Changes:

  • Added iOS device tests validating initial CharacterSpacing application and preservation after SelectedIndex updates.
  • Reapplies CharacterSpacing whenever MauiPicker.UpdatePicker(...) updates the displayed text.
  • Defers CharacterSpacing mapping until the platform view is loaded (iOS handler mapping).

Could you please review the Ai's summary?

@kubaflo , Reviewed the AI summary. The gate was reported as failed, but I verified locally that the test fails without the fix and passes with the fix applied.

Without_Fix With_Fix

Applied the suggested simplification by removing the OnLoaded deferral in MapCharacterSpacing and replacing it with a direct UpdateCharacterSpacing call.

Regarding the UpdatePickerFromPickerSource path — that regression (character spacing lost when user physically selects from the picker wheel) is tracked and fixed in #34974.

🤖 Automated review — alternative fix proposed

The expert-reviewer evaluation compared the PR fix against #4 automatically generated candidates and selected try-fix-4 as the strongest fix.

Why: try-fix-4 passes tests in two verified runs and addresses all four CharacterSpacing failure paths (PropertyMapper ordering, UpdatePicker, UpdatePickerFromPickerSource, OnEditing) with no public API surface changes, while the PR's fix only covers 1/4 paths and failed the Gate. try-fix-2 also passes but introduces a public Text setter override in MauiPicker which adds API surface unnecessarily.

🤖 Automated review — alternative fix proposed

The expert-reviewer evaluation compared the PR fix against #4 automatically generated candidates and selected try-fix-4 as the strongest fix.

Why: Try-fix-4 extracts a centralized UpdatePickerText() helper in PickerExtensions.cs that sets text AND applies CharacterSpacing together, then routes both UpdatePicker and UpdatePickerFromPickerSource through it. This covers all text-update paths (including the dismiss-without-change path that the PR's fix misses) without adding new state to any class, and adds a third test verifying the previously-uncovered PickerSource interaction scenario.

🤖 Automated review — alternative fix proposed

The expert-reviewer evaluation compared the PR fix against #2 automatically generated candidates and selected try-fix-2 as the strongest fix.

Why: The PR's fix (adding UpdateCharacterSpacing inside UpdatePicker) fails because a recursive UpdatePicker call triggered by BindableProperty propagation overwrites the applied spacing. Try-fix-2 overrides MauiPicker.Text setter to self-apply stored CharacterSpacing on every text assignment, covering all paths (initial load, programmatic SelectedIndex change, user physical selection, EditingChanged events) without call-site coordination. Both gate-equivalent tests pass.

Issue: #34955 - [iOS] Picker ignores CharacterSpacing on initial load
PR: #34957 - [iOS] Fix Picker CharacterSpacing ignored on initial load
Platforms Affected: iOS, macOS (MacCatalyst)
Files Changed: 2 implementation, 1 test

Key Findings

  • Root Cause: MapCharacterSpacing runs before MapSelectedIndex in the mapper. When UpdateCharacterSpacing is called on initial load, AttributedText is null (no text yet) so the spacing is a no-op. When MapSelectedIndex fires next via UpdateSelectedIndexUpdatePicker, text is set but CharacterSpacing is not reapplied.
  • Fix Applied: UpdatePicker() in PickerExtensions.cs now calls platformPicker.UpdateCharacterSpacing(picker) after setting platformPicker.Text. This ensures spacing is applied whenever text is set.
  • Remaining Gap (tracked in [iOS] Fix Picker CharacterSpacing lost after item selection when Title is set #34974): UpdatePickerFromPickerSource (called when user physically selects from the picker wheel) sets PlatformView.Text directly without reapplying CharacterSpacing. A reviewer suggested adding PlatformView.UpdateCharacterSpacing(VirtualView) there. Author deferred this to [iOS] Fix Picker CharacterSpacing lost after item selection when Title is set #34974.
  • Whitespace-only change in PickerHandler.iOS.cs line 258 (blank line between two statements) — no functional effect.
  • Two device tests added covering initial CharacterSpacing and CharacterSpacing maintenance after SelectedIndex change.
  • The PR has the s/agent-suggestions-implemented label — author previously applied suggestions from a prior agent review.

Prior Agent Reviews

  • A prior agent review existed (s/agent-reviewed, s/agent-changes-requested, s/agent-fix-win labels).
  • Copilot reviewer had flagged UpdatePickerFromPickerSource as a regression path; author responded that this is tracked separately in [iOS] Fix Picker CharacterSpacing lost after item selection when Title is set #34974.
  • Applied simplification: removed OnLoaded deferral in MapCharacterSpacing, replaced with direct UpdateCharacterSpacing call.

🔬 Code Review — Deep Analysis

Code Review — PR #34957

Independent Assessment

What this changes: Adds a call to UpdateCharacterSpacing(picker) inside PickerExtensions.UpdatePicker() immediately after the text is set. Also adds a cosmetic blank line in PickerHandler.iOS.cs and a newline-at-EOF fix. Two new iOS device tests verify the behavior.

Inferred motivation: Setting UITextField.Text (plain string) on a MauiPicker replaces AttributedText with a plain NSAttributedString, silently wiping all previously applied KerningAdjustment attributes. Since CharacterSpacing is mapped before SelectedIndex in the handler's PropertyMapper, character spacing is applied when there is no text yet (a no-op), then SelectedIndex mapping sets the text as plain string, permanently losing the kerning. Any programmatic SelectedIndex change afterwards has the same effect.


Reconciliation with PR Narrative

Author claims: CharacterSpacing is applied before SelectedIndex in the mapper (making it a no-op), and any subsequent index change also wipes it. Fix: call UpdateCharacterSpacing inside UpdatePicker so kerning is reapplied every time the text is written.

Agreement: Diagnosis and fix are exactly right. The fix directly mirrors the pattern already used in TimePickerExtensions.UpdateTime(), which has an identical mauiTimePicker.UpdateCharacterSpacing(timePicker) call at the end of the text-setting block. The PR correctly identifies both the initialization issue and the programmatic update issue.


Findings

⚠️ Warning — UpdatePickerFromPickerSource has an unguarded same-item edge case

File: src/Core/src/Handlers/Picker/PickerHandler.iOS.cs, lines 258–260

PlatformView.Text = VirtualView.GetItem(pickerSource.SelectedIndex);  // plain text → wipes kerning
VirtualView.SelectedIndex = pickerSource.SelectedIndex;               // fires PropertyChanged only if index CHANGED

This is the code path called from FinishSelectItem when the user taps "Done" on the picker. When the user picks a different item, PropertyChanged fires on VirtualView.SelectedIndex, which triggers MapSelectedIndex → UpdateSelectedIndex → UpdatePicker → UpdateCharacterSpacing. Kerning is restored. ✅

However, if the user opens the picker and confirms the same item (no index change), PropertyChanged does not fire, UpdatePicker is never called, and the kerning is permanently lost after PlatformView.Text = .... Adding PlatformView.UpdateCharacterSpacing(VirtualView); explicitly after line 258 would close this gap and remove the dependency on the indirect PropertyChanged round-trip:

PlatformView.Text = VirtualView.GetItem(pickerSource.SelectedIndex);
PlatformView.UpdateCharacterSpacing(VirtualView);   // ← add this
VirtualView.SelectedIndex = pickerSource.SelectedIndex;

💡 Suggestion — OnEditing sets plain text without re-applying spacing

File: src/Core/src/Handlers/Picker/PickerHandler.iOS.cs, line ~427

OnEditing fires via EditingChanged, which is subscribed as a safeguard against virtual-keyboard input on the picker field. This code path also sets plain text without re-applying UpdateCharacterSpacing. In practice, EditingChanged should not fire during normal UIPickerView interaction, so this is low risk.

💡 Suggestion — GetNativeCharacterSpacing is fragile when AttributedText is null

File: src/Core/tests/DeviceTests/Handlers/Picker/PickerHandlerTests.iOS.cs, line ~162

return mauiPicker.AttributedText.GetCharacterSpacing();  // null-deref if no item selected

GetCharacterSpacing handles null safely (returns 0), but if AttributedText is ever null unexpectedly, the test will silently pass with 0 == 0 instead of the expected 4 == 4.


Devil's Advocate

On the UpdatePickerFromPickerSource concern: One could argue the indirect path (PropertyChanged → MapSelectedIndex → UpdatePicker) already restores kerning for the common case (user picks a different item), and the same-item edge case is rare. However, relying on an indirect side-effect for correctness — especially when the two-line fix is trivial — is fragile.

On the core fix: The approach is unambiguously correct. It matches the TimePickerExtensions precedent, null safety is handled by ?., there's no performance concern, and MacCatalyst is covered by the same shared file.

On the CI failure: "Run Integration Tests MultiProject macOS" failed with a 2-hour timeout. This is not related to Picker changes and is a known infrastructure flake.


Verdict: NEEDS_CHANGES

Confidence: high

Errors: 0 | Warnings: 1 | Suggestions: 2

Summary: The core fix is correct and follows the established TimePickerExtensions pattern. However, UpdatePickerFromPickerSource still drops character spacing when the user confirms the same item without changing selection. A single PlatformView.UpdateCharacterSpacing(VirtualView) call after line 258 closes this gap.

Cross-Pollination

Model Round New Ideas? Details
claude-sonnet-4.6 2 Yes defaultTextAttributes/typingAttributes to make kerning "sticky" at field level so Text assignments auto-carry the attribute. Caveat: defaultTextAttributes may only affect user-typed text, not programmatically-set text.
(Additional models) 2 NO NEW IDEAS Models agreed remaining approaches were covered by attempts 1-4

Exhausted: Yes — 4 models queried, 3 passing candidates found, 1 failure documented, new idea from cross-pollination has known caveat and try-fix-2/4 already cover the use case.

Selected Fix: Candidate #2 (try-fix-2) — SetPickerItemText helper approach.

Reason: Tests pass, follows established MAUI iOS extension method pattern (matches DatePicker/TimePicker), fixes all 3 text-clobbering sites comprehensively, minimal API surface change (internal helper only), and makes the intent explicit through a named helper function.

Code Review Impact on Try-Fix

The code review warning about UpdatePickerFromPickerSource directly guided try-fix exploration. Try-fix-2 (the winning candidate) specifically addressed this gap by fixing all three text-clobbering sites rather than just UpdatePicker. The expert reviewer's inline findings confirmed the same two unfixed paths (UpdatePickerFromPickerSource and OnEditing), corroborating the code-review warning. Try-fix-3 attempted the mapper-reordering idea surfaced by code review analysis of the PropertyMapper, providing empirical confirmation that lifecycle-based fixes are insufficient.

Summary

The PR's core fix (adding UpdateCharacterSpacing in UpdatePicker()) correctly addresses the initial-load scenario where CharacterSpacing is a no-op because MapCharacterSpacing fires before any text exists. However, two additional text-clobbering sites remain unfixed: UpdatePickerFromPickerSource (user physically selects from picker wheel) and OnEditing (keyboard-reset guard). The Gate failed for this PR. An alternative fix (try-fix-2) passed all tests, covers all three sites, and follows the established MAUI iOS extension method pattern.

Winning candidate: try-fix-2 (SetPickerItemText atomic helper)

Root Cause

MapCharacterSpacing runs before MapSelectedIndex in the PropertyMapper. When UpdateCharacterSpacing is called initially, AttributedText is null (no text yet) → no-op. When MapSelectedIndex fires, UpdatePicker sets platformPicker.Text as a plain string, replacing AttributedText and silently wiping any kerning. Additionally, UpdatePickerFromPickerSource and OnEditing also set .Text as plain strings, creating three text-clobbering sites in total.

Fix Quality

PR's fix: Correct for the initial-load path but incomplete — UpdatePickerFromPickerSource still drops CharacterSpacing when the user confirms the same item (no index change means no PropertyChanged, so MapSelectedIndex never re-fires and UpdateCharacterSpacing is never called). Gate failed independently.

try-fix-2 (recommended): Introduces SetPickerItemText internal helper in PickerExtensions.cs that atomically sets .Text and applies KerningAdjustment. Used at all three sites. Tests: 2523 passed, 0 failed. Minimal API surface change (internal helper), follows DatePicker/TimePicker pattern, no public API changes.

🤖 Automated review — alternative fix proposed

The expert-reviewer evaluation compared the PR fix against #2 automatically generated candidates and selected try-fix-2 as the strongest fix.

Why: try-fix-2 introduces a SetPickerItemText atomic helper in PickerExtensions.cs that sets text and reapplies CharacterSpacing together, used at all three text-clobbering sites (UpdatePicker, UpdatePickerFromPickerSource, OnEditing). It passed all 2523 device tests with zero failures, follows the established MAUI iOS extension method pattern (matching DatePicker/TimePicker), makes no public API changes, and comprehensively fixes all paths where plain .Text assignment silently wipes AttributedText kerning — gaps that the original PR left open.
