@Davidbritch do you have any idea what might cause this?

The URL gives away what the problem is: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/communitytoolkit/maui/alerts/toast?tabs=tizen%2Cmacios%2Candroid - it's trying to display multiple tabs at once, rather than a single tab. This occurs because you have unbalanced tab groups on the page. The first tab group has 4 tabs, the second tab group has 2 tabs (and one of them uses a different tab id). So, for example, if you delete the second tab group on the page (with 2 tabs), the first tab group works correctly. The first tab group also works correctly if you have four tabs in the second tab group, and use the same tab ids.

So ultimately the solution is to balance up the two tab groups.

There's a second solution: ensure the tab ids in one of the tab groups are different to the tab ids in the other group. With this approach you can keep 4 tabs in the first group, and 2 in the second.
