MAUI Entry ClearButton does not clear the text?

Question

So earlier today I was trying to use the internal property for an Entry to clear the text in it.

 <Entry
   Placeholder="This is a freaky entry"
   TextColor="Purple"
   ClearButtonVisibility="WhileEditing"
   FontSize="Large"
   Keyboard="Chat"/>

But when I click on it nothing seems to happen.

Am I missing something here?

Is this the intended behaviour?

If so how do I add the clear button functionality, I don't seem to find a command or a event for it...

Version details:

When I run dotnet --version it says I am running 6.0.400

And in my VS about I have the following configuration:

Answer 1

I tested on my actual project (preview version, same as you), and i could replicate your error (in standar version it works) so i made this:

1- Open package manager console

2- dotnet tool install -g Redth.Net.Maui.Check

3- maui-check

4- Check my version (if it's the last one)

And now My entry clear button is Working:

<Entry ClearButtonVisibility="WhileEditing"
       BackgroundColor="AliceBlue"
       Placeholder="Random Text"/>

Try that please! Package Reference
