Scroller Jumps to Start Position when Entry Control Gains Focus in VirtualizeListView

[swapnilpopatgaikwad]

When using the VirtualizeListView component with Entry controls inside it, the scroller scrolls to the start position whenever an Entry control gains focus. This issue disrupts the user experience, especially in scenarios where users need to input data into multiple entries within a scrolled position in the list.

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a VirtualizeListView with multiple Entry controls as items.
2. Scroll down to any position in the list.
3. Focus on any Entry control by tapping on it.
4. Observe that the scroller jumps to the start position, causing the user to lose their place in the list.

Expected Behavior: The scroller should maintain its current position when an Entry control gains focus, allowing users to continue inputting data without losing their place in the list.

Actual Behavior: The scroller jumps to the start position whenever an Entry control gains focus, disrupting the user's input flow.

does this happen only on android or on ios also?

Currently, I am facing this issue on Android only. I checked on iOS, and it's working fine.
