Application Style gets applied even though separate style provided

[PaulAndersonS]

Description

I have a custom view of type ContentView. In that i have a HorizontalStackLayout with two labels. I have set a new style for HorizontalStackLayout as below

HorizontalStackLayout hStackLayout = new HorizontalStackLayout()
            {
                Style = new Style(typeof(HorizontalStackLayout)),
                HorizontalOptions = LayoutOptions.Start,
                VerticalOptions = LayoutOptions.Fill,
            };

Also tried setting Style for the CustomView using resources like below

<local:CustomView>
                <local:CustomView.Resources>
                    <Style TargetType="HorizontalStackLayout">
                        <Setter Property="Spacing" Value="50"/>
                    </Style>
                </local:CustomView.Resources>
            </local:CustomView>

But both of the approach not getting applied and the Style present in the Styles.xaml in the Application Resources gets applied.

Facing this issue in Android and Windows. Not yet tried in iOS and MacCatalsyt.

Hi, @PaulAndersonS - thanks for uploading this issue. Would you please reshare the sample in the form of a GitHub repository so that we may investigate further? We unfortunately are only able to accept samples in that form. Thanks for understanding!

That is not true what you write about github repositories being the only accepted source. Full sample in zip does the job 100% (runnable project/solution). It was never needed until I saw you writing this some days ago. Also, imagine being a developer having 50 random repos for every maui issue out there if I did like you wrote. That sounds really silly.

You could use one repo and multiple branches.

verified repro on windows and android with above project.

@janseris in the bug template we already ask for reproductions through GitHub and under the link there is more information about why a reproduction project is imporant and we repeat the request for providing it through a GitHub repo

I'm sorry if that is not something you like, but something that we are going to enforce from a security standpoint. I will add a bit of clarification in the link above on why that is. Thanks for your cooperation!

Looking at this code for future things and there are 3 "styles" in this sample:

1. App style
2. Main page style
3. Blank C# style

It appears that the new blank style set in C# is preventing the main page style from applying - but not the app style.
