Custom ViewCells disappear in TableView

Description

When using a ViewCell inside a TableView, it doesn’t show up or disappears during interaction with any of the other controls inside the TableView.

I have observed three different behaviors so far:

1. The ViewCell does not get rendered at all
2. The ViewCell gets rendered for a split second and then disappears
3. The ViewCell gets rendered, but disappears when interacting with any of the controls in the TableView

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a new MAUI App (.NET 6.0)
2. Add a TableView incl. a TableRoot and TableSection to the MainPage (or any other page)
3. Add a ViewCell to the TableSection
4. Add a Grid with a Label and Button to the ViewCell
5. Add a SwitchCell
6. Run on an Android 12.0 device or emulator

Expected outcome: ViewCell with Label and Button is visible and remains visible Actual outcome: ViewCell and contents disappear/do not show up

I’m having the same issue. Is TableView deprecated? Should we move on?

I have this trouble too.
