Keyboard remains open on iOS when taping outside of Entry control. 

There is a workaround for the MAUI Entry control by setting the HideSoftInputOnTap property on the Pagel, but this property does not work on RadEntry. The keyboard remains open. 

A line going through the clear button of the RadEntry control. The behavior is reproduced on Android 9.0

On Windows when IsReadOnly state changes to true, the control state does not change, you can still edit the text. 

Example:

<VerticalStackLayout >
            <Switch IsToggled="{Binding IsReadOnly,Source={x:Reference EntryShareName}}"/>
            <telerik:RadEntry x:Name="EntryShareName"
                                FontSize="14"
                                Placeholder="Enter text here"
                                PlaceholderColor="#99000000"
                                AutomationId="radEntry">
            </telerik:RadEntry>
        </VerticalStackLayout>

The Placeholder position is not in sync with the Entry's Text, it is always top-left aligned.

Here's a quick screenshot of what happens when the RadEntry is larger than the default.

This has the side effect of not being aligned with the Text.

Suggested Solution

There are several ways I can think of to approach this, but I think the easiest way would be to just bind the top level control's VerticalTextAlignment property value on the internal Label being used for the Placeholder

<telerik:RadEntry Placeholder="Name"
                              WidthRequest="280"
                              HeightRequest="100"
                              VerticalTextAlignment="End"/>

When you've set IsPassword=True and have an initial value for Text, that value is ignored (only the watermark is shown).

Reproducible on .NET MAUI peview14 using UI for MAUI 0.6.0 with the following code

<telerik:RadEntry Placeholder="Password" Text="1234" IsPassword="True"/>
