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"/>
On Android: RadEntry and .NET Maui Entry behavior are identical. When unfocused, the focused background is still applied.
On WinUI: RadEntry and .NET Maui behavior when are unfocused, the focused background is still applied. When RadEntry is in the "Focused" and "PointerOver" visual states, the control behavior is with the default state. When .NET Maui Entry is in the "Focused" and "PointerOver" visual states, the control behavior is with the "PoinetOver" visual state.
On iOS and MacCatalys: When RadEntry is unfocused, the focused background is still applied.
Text is not centered vertically on WinUI with latest Maui. The issue also affects NumericInput control as RadEntry is used internally.
There is android platform specific attached property ImeOption for entry control.
<Entry x:Name="Default" FontSize="22" Placeholder="Default" Keyboard="Numeric" android:Entry.ImeOptions="Next" />
Please provide an option to use this property for Telerik MAUI RadEntry.
Currently, when setting Numeric keyboard, on Mac and windows you can also enter non-numeric characters.
Provide an option when keyboard is numeric, the entry to replace its internal input control, so only numeric values to be entered.
Similar feature is opened for maui Entry: https://github.com/dotnet/maui/issues/9201
Text is not centered horizontally on WinUI.
on maui 9.0.50 text is not visible and hiding the ClearButton does not work
on maui 9.0.40 text is not centered but hiding the ClearButton works
When setting horizontal text alignment to center, the text in Telerik Entry is not centered. In MAUI entry works.
