Issue: #33333 - [Android] CollectionView Scrolled event is triggered on the initial app load.; #33614 - [iOS, Mac] CollectionView Scrolled event reports incorrect FirstVisibleItemIndex after programmatic ScrollTo
PR: #33632 - [Testing] Additional Feature Matrix Test Cases for CollectionView - 2
Platforms Affected: Android (#33333), iOS/MacCatalyst (#33614); test coverage added across Android, iOS, and Mac snapshot suites
Files Changed: 6 implementation/test files, 94 snapshot files

Key Findings

• This is a testing-only PR: the changed code is limited to TestCases.HostApp and TestCases.Shared.Tests, plus 94 snapshot baselines (76 Android, 9 iOS, 9 Mac).
• The PR expands the CollectionView scrolling feature matrix with Scrolled and ScrollToRequested coverage, grouped/ungrouped scenarios, index/item scroll paths, and Start/Center/End/MakeVisible positions.
• Linked issue [Android] CollectionView Scrolled event is triggered on the initial app load. #33333 is Android-only and documents a spurious initial Scrolled event on app load; linked issue [iOS, Mac] CollectionView Scrolled event reports incorrect FirstVisibleItemIndex after programmatic ScrollTo #33614 is iOS/MacCatalyst and documents incorrect FirstVisibleItemIndex after programmatic ScrollTo(..., Start, ...).
• The first ordered test in the class, VerifyMeasureAllItemsWithObservableCollection, performs the only explicit navigation into the scrolling page by tapping ScrollingButton before opening Options (CollectionView_ScrollingFeatureTests.cs:37-44).
• Newly added tests such as VerifyDefaultScrollToRequested begin directly on App.WaitForElement(Options) without that navigation step (CollectionView_ScrollingFeatureTests.cs:986-1001), which is relevant for isolation-based verification.
• There are no inline review threads on the PR. A prior agent review exists in PR comments and previously reported a gate failure on Android due to test isolation; this run revalidates independently on the requested Catalyst platform.

Test Run Results

Check	Expected	Actual	Result
Tests WITHOUT fix	FAIL	FAIL	✅

Overall: VERIFICATION FAILED

Failure Analysis

The test VerifyDefaultScrollToRequested timed out on App.WaitForElement("Options").

Root Cause: The test does NOT navigate to CollectionViewScrollPage - it assumes the app is already on that page. The Options toolbar button only exists on CollectionViewScrollPage, not on the CollectionViewMainPage where the _GalleryUITest.SetUp lands the app.

From the page source at failure time, the app was on CollectionViewMainPage (the feature matrix landing page with "ScrollingButton", "EmptyViewButton", etc.), NOT on CollectionViewScrollPage.

Navigation dependency: VerifyMeasureAllItemsWithObservableCollection has [Test, Order(1)] and navigates to CollectionViewScrollPage by tapping "ScrollingButton". All other tests in the class rely on this navigation state being preserved between tests. When run in isolation, this fails.

Fix Files Misidentification

The verification script detected eng/pipelines/common/provision.yml, eng/pipelines/common/variables.yml as "fix files" (these are pipeline config files unrelated to the PR's test changes). The actual test/HostApp changes are in test file categories and were not reverted. This confirms this is a testing-only PR with no production fix files.

Context

This is a testing-only PR (no production code changes). The Gate infrastructure is designed primarily for bug fix PRs. For testing-only Feature Matrix PRs, the verify-tests-fail-without-fix approach does not apply as intended.

The test isolation issue exists across ALL tests in this class (except Order=1) - this follows the established pattern. However, VerifyDefaultScrollToRequested would need App.WaitForElement("ScrollingButton"); App.Tap("ScrollingButton"); prepended to work in isolation.

Gate FAILEDResult:

Platform: catalyst
Mode: Full Verification

• Tests FAIL without fix:
• Tests PASS with fix:

Notes

• Gate was run through the verify-tests-fail-without-fix workflow on MacCatalyst using the CollectionView_ScrollingFeatureTests filter after the requested test was found to be conditionally excluded from the Mac test assembly.
• The requested test VerifyScrollToByIndexWithStartPositionAndVerticalList_Carrot is inside #if TEST_FAILS_ON_CATALYST && TEST_FAILS_ON_IOS, but src/Controls/tests/TestCases.Mac.Tests/Controls.TestCases.Mac.Tests.csproj defines TEST_FAILS_ON_IOS and does not define TEST_FAILS_ON_CATALYST, so that test is not compiled for MacCatalyst.
• The verification script auto-detected eng/pipelines/ci-copilot.yml as the fix which is unrelated to the CollectionView behavior under review. That makes the full-verification revert/restore step imperfect for this testing-only PR, but the script still produced a stable result: the suite failed in both runs.fileonly
• With fix and without fix, the same Mac visual tests failed due to snapshot mismatches, including VerifyDefaultScrollToRequested, VerifyMeasureAllItemsWithGroupedList, VerifyScrollToByIndexWithCenterPositionAndVerticalList_Carrot, VerifyScrollToByIndexWithEndPositionAndVerticalList_Carrot, VerifyScrollToByIndexWithMakeVisiblePositionAndVerticalList_Carrot, VerifyScrollToByItemWithCenterPositionAndVerticalList_Carrot, VerifyScrollToByItemWithEndPositionAndVerticalList_Carrot, and VerifyScrollToByItemWithMakeVisiblePositionAndVerticalList_Carrot.
• Representative failure: VerifyDefaultScrollToRequested.png differed from baseline by 19.03%; several vertical-list scroll cases differed by 19.04%; VerifyMeasureAllItemsWithObservableCollection.png differed by 21.90%; VerifyMeasureAllItemsWithGroupedList.png differed by 21.10%.

This PR enhances the CollectionView Scrolling Feature Matrix by adding comprehensive support for scroll-related behaviors and events, along with corresponding UI options and automated test coverage.

The update enables better validation of scrolling scenarios across grouped and ungrouped CollectionViews, including index-based and item-based scrolling.

Description of Change

HostApp changes (CollectionViewScrollPage):

• Added event monitoring labels for Scrolled, ScrollToRequested, RemainingItemsThresholdReached, and ReorderCompleted events
• Added labels showing FirstVisibleItemIndex, CenterItemIndex, LastVisibleItemIndex from ItemsViewScrolledEventArgs
• Added labels showing ScrollToRequestEventArgs details (Index, GroupIndex, Item, GroupName)
• Added a "ScrollTo" button and wired up all four event handlers
• Added CanReorderItems binding to the CollectionView

HostApp changes (ScrollBehaviorOptionsPage):

• Expanded options with ScrollToPosition selection (MakeVisible, Start, Center, End)
• Added "ScrollToBy" radio buttons (Index vs Item)
• Added ScrollToIndex and ScrollToItem entry fields
• Added GroupIndex entry for grouped scroll scenarios
• Added CanReorderItems toggle

ViewModel changes (CollectionViewViewModel):

• Added properties: ScrollToPosition, GroupName, GroupIndex, ScrollToByIndexOrItem, ScrollToItem, ScrollToIndex
• Increased grouped list item counts to support scroll distance tests (4→20, 12→25)

New automated tests (CollectionView_ScrollingFeatureTests):

• VerifyDefaultScrollToRequested — verifies ScrollToRequested event fires
• ScrollTo by index: MakeVisible, Start, Center, End positions across VerticalList, HorizontalList, VerticalGrid, HorizontalGrid
• ScrollTo by item across layouts
• ScrollTo for grouped collections (by index and by item), across all four scroll positions and layouts
• Scrolled event tests (documenting known failures on Android)
• 94 Android snapshot baselines

Issues Identified

• [Android] CollectionView Scrolled event is triggered on the initial app load. #33333 — Scrolled event does not fire on Android (tests guarded with #if TEST_FAILS_ON_ANDROID)
• [iOS, Mac] CollectionView Scrolled event reports incorrect FirstVisibleItemIndex after programmatic ScrollTo #33614 — ScrollTo with Start position fails on iOS/MacCatalyst (tests guarded with #if TEST_FAILS_ON_CATALYST && TEST_FAILS_ON_IOS)

Code Review: ✅ Passed

🟡 Suggestions

---

1. #if !WINDOWS guard in ResetScrollEventLabels() is undocumented

• File: src/Controls/tests/TestCases.HostApp/FeatureMatrix/CollectionView/ScrollingFeature/CollectionViewScrollPage.xaml.cs
• Code:

  public void ResetScrollEventLabels()
  {
  #if !WINDOWS
      collectionView.ScrollTo(0, position: ScrollToPosition.Start);
  #endif

• Issue: The reason ScrollTo(0) is skipped on Windows is not explained. A brief inline comment explaining the Windows limitation (or linking to the relevant GitHub issue) would help future contributors understand why this guard exists.
• Suggestion: Add a comment like // Windows does not support ScrollTo by index at this time (see #XXXXX) or link to the relevant known issue.

---

2. OnIsGroupedChanged does not guard on e.Value

• File: src/Controls/tests/TestCases.HostApp/FeatureMatrix/CollectionView/ScrollingFeature/ScrollBehaviorOptionsPage.xaml.cs
• Code:

  private void OnIsGroupedChanged(object sender, CheckedChangedEventArgs e)
  {
      if (IsGroupedFalse.IsChecked)
          _viewModel.IsGrouped = false;
      else if (IsGroupedTrue.IsChecked)
          _viewModel.IsGrouped = true;
  }

• Issue: Unlike most other CheckedChanged handlers in this file (which guard on !e.Value to ignore uncheck events), this one reads IsChecked directly from the named radio buttons. This happens to work correctly because MAUI updates IsChecked before firing the event, but it's inconsistent with the surrounding code style.
• Suggestion: For consistency, align with the pattern used elsewhere in the file:

  private void OnIsGroupedChanged(object sender, CheckedChangedEventArgs e)
  {
      if (!(sender is RadioButton radioButton) || !e.Value)
          return;
      _viewModel.IsGrouped = radioButton == IsGroupedTrue;
  }

---

3. ScrollToGroupedByItem passes selectedGroup.Key (string) as the group parameter

• File: src/Controls/tests/TestCases.HostApp/FeatureMatrix/CollectionView/ScrollingFeature/CollectionViewScrollPage.xaml.cs
• Code:

  collectionView.ScrollTo(item: targetItem, group: selectedGroup.Key, position: _viewModel.ScrollToPosition, animate: true);

• Issue: The CollectionView.ScrollTo(item, group, ...) overload expects group to be the group object (the Grouping<TKey, TItem> instance), not just its key. Passing selectedGroup.Key (a string) may work only by coincidence if the CollectionView resolves the group by reference to its key — but the API contract suggests it should be the group object itself.
• Suggestion: Pass selectedGroup (the group object) instead of selectedGroup.Key:

  collectionView.ScrollTo(item: targetItem, group: selectedGroup, position: _viewModel.ScrollToPosition, animate: true);

  Verify the OnScrollToRequested handler still captures the correct GroupLabel value after the fix.

---

✅ Looks Good

• All new tests follow existing conventions (_GalleryUITest base, UITestCategories.CollectionView, [Category] attribute usage).
• Known platform failures are properly gated with #if TEST_FAILS_ON_* guards with issue links — this is the correct pattern.
• Event handler implementations are minimal and focused (no side effects beyond label updates).
• Snapshot files are cleanly named by test method and expected item.
• ViewModel properties follow the existing INotifyPropertyChanged pattern in the file.
• Item count increases (4→20, 12→25) are needed for scroll tests to have enough items and are correctly applied.
