Description

Focusing an Entry on a ContentPage opens the soft keyboard, and the same Entry can be focused with the keyboard opening from code as well, using:

await Entry_Name_In_Xaml.ShowKeyboardAsync(CancellationToken.None);

However if i put the very same Entry in a (CommunityToolkit.Maui.Views.)Popup, the Entry is focused automatically, which would not be an issue, if the soft keyboard would open as well, but it doesn't, nor can it be opened from code using:

await Entry_Popup.ShowKeyboardAsync(CancellationToken.None);

Steps to Reproduce

1. Clone/download my repository
2. Check the behavior under "EntryFocusBugRepro"

This may be a bug in the maui community toolkit, maybe open the issue there for them to investigate?
