Page changing using menu bar stops command in menu bar from working

Description

Since MenuBarItem did not had command binding option, I chose MenuFlyoutItem. But when doing navigation in it, it stops command in menu bar from working. It doesn’t crash but it stops working.

Steps to Reproduce

Add to MainPage.xaml:

<ContentPage.MenuBarItems>
      <MenuBarItem Text="Pages">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Page1"
                            Command="{Binding TapCommand}"/>
        </MenuBarItem>
</ContentPage.MenuBarItems>

Add to MainViewModel.cs:

		[RelayCommand]
		async Task Tap()
		{
			await Shell.Current.GoToAsync(nameof(Page1));
		}

Add to Page1.xaml

<ContentPage.MenuBarItems>
        <MenuBarItem Text="Options">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="GoBack"
                            Command="{Binding GoBackCommand}"/>
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Exit"
                            Command="{Binding ExitCommand}"/>
        </MenuBarItem>
    </ContentPage.MenuBarItems>

Add to Page1ViewModel.cs

		[RelayCommand]
		public static void Exit()
		{
			System.Environment.Exit(0);
		}

		[RelayCommand]
		async Task GoBack()
		{
			await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("..");
		}

As usual add to AppShell.xaml.cs

Routing.RegisterRoute(nameof(Page1), typeof(Page1));

and add to MauiProgram.cs

                builder.Services.AddSingleton<MainPage>();
		builder.Services.AddSingleton<MainViewModel>();

		builder.Services.AddTransient<Page1>();
		builder.Services.AddTransient<Page1>();

Seems like the flyout items’ binding context is getting lost during the navigation process. For me I have ‘fixed’ the issue like this:

protected override void OnAppearing()
{
    base.OnAppearing();

    foreach (var item in MenuBarItems)
    {
        item.BindingContext = BindingContext;
    }
}

I have the same issue and @vrishe’s solution fixes it. If we’re not supposed to do things like this (since this is “under consideration”?) how are we supposed to do it??

What vrishe proposed is a workaround, not a fix. Fix mean it should have work correctly as intended, no work around needed.
