AbsoluteLayout has slightly different behavior in Maui (than in Forms)

[mattleibow]

Description

I was porting this code: https://github.com/xamarin/Xamarin.Forms/blob/2d1b9b930f35b995c75d6e3823f8010f90edf877/Xamarin.Forms.Controls/ViewContainers/LayeredViewContainer.cs#L5-L39

And I ended up with:

var bottom = new Button { Text = "Bottom Button" };
var top = new Button { Text = "Click Me!", InputTransparent = false };
var grid = new AbsoluteLayout { bottom, top };
AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutFlags(bottom, AbsoluteLayoutFlags.All);
AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutBounds(bottom, new Rect(0, 0, 1, 1));
AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutBounds(top, new Rect(0, 0, 1, 1));
AbsoluteLayout.SetLayoutFlags(top, AbsoluteLayoutFlags.All);

In Forms it appears that the AbsoluteLayout does not shrink beyond the size of the children, but in maui the height goes all the way down to 1.

Use a Grid or set the AbsoluteLayout.HeightRequest to something that is nice - like 40.
