relative path page has small vertical animation

[jfraschilla]

When I navigate to a DetailPage from MainPage using GoToAsync I see a small vertical animation when setting the target to Windows. I do not see the animation on Android. I have set animate to false and PresentationMode="NotAnimated". Is there a way to not have the animation when running on Windows?

I am using .NET 10.

public partial class MainPageViewModel: ObservableObject
{
    [RelayCommand]
    private async Task NavigateToDetailPage()
    {
        await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("DetailPage", false);
    }
}

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             x:Class="MauiApp5.Pages.DetailPage"
             Shell.NavBarVisibilityAnimationEnabled="False"
             Shell.PresentationMode="NotAnimated">
    
    <VerticalStackLayout>
        <Label 
            Text="Detail Page"
            VerticalOptions="Center" 
            HorizontalOptions="Center" />
    </VerticalStackLayout>
    
</ContentPage>

<Shell
    x:Class="MauiApp5.AppShell"
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
    xmlns:local="clr-namespace:MauiApp5.Pages"
    xmlns:vm="clr-namespace:MauiApp5.ViewModels"
    Title="MauiApp5"
    x:DataType="vm:ShellViewModel">
    
    <Shell.MenuBarItems>
        <MenuBarItem Text="Menu">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Main Page" Command="{Binding NavigateToMainPageCommand}" />
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Second Page" Command="{Binding NavigateToSecondPageCommand}" />
        </MenuBarItem>
    </Shell.MenuBarItems>

    <ShellContent
        Title="Main Page"
        ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:MainPage}"
        Route="MainPage" />

    <ShellContent
        Title="Second Page"
        ContentTemplate="{DataTemplate local:SecondPage}"
        Route="SecondPage" />

</Shell>

This looks like it should already be disabled by the combination you are using.

GoToAsync("DetailPage", false) disables the navigation animation for that call, and Shell.PresentationMode="NotAnimated" should also mark the target page as non-animated. So if Windows still shows a small vertical movement while Android does not, I would suspect a Windows-specific Shell/WinUI behavior or a MAUI bug rather than a missing setting.

If DetailPage is registered as a route rather than a ShellContent page, the current setup still looks reasonable to me.

I would not expect users to need another setting beyond animate: false and NotAnimated. If a minimal repro on .NET 10 Windows still shows the vertical movement, I think this is worth filing as a platform-specific Shell animation bug.
