Description

Description

A nested WebView in unable to scroll within a Frame, in Xamarin Forms, running in UWP

<ContentPage.Content>
    <Frame >
        <Grid>
            <WebView Source="https://www.microsoft.com" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
        </Grid>
    </Frame>
</ContentPage.Content>

Code without the frame works as expected

<ContentPage.Content>
    <Grid >
        <WebView Source="https://www.microsoft.com" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
    </Grid>
</ContentPage.Content>

Known Workaround - If you add an outline color to the frame, the webview becomes scrollable

<ContentPage.Content>
    <Frame OutlineColor="White">
        <Grid >
            <WebView Source="https://www.microsoft.com" VerticalOptions="FillAndExpand" HorizontalOptions="FillAndExpand"/>
        </Grid>
    </Frame>
</ContentPage.Content>
