### Description

Buttons in some pages of a TabbedPage don't grow and instead clip their content.

### Steps to Reproduce

1. Open the TabbedPage sample from the Maui samples repo in Visual Studio. https://github.com/dotnet/maui-samples/tree/main/6.0/Navigation/TabbedPage
2. Run the app in the Android Emulator. I'm using "Pixel 3a - API 31 (Android 12 -API 31)"
3. Click the button on each tab page, some of the Buttons will clip the text instead of adjusting their width.

Research direction

Start with the TabbedPage sample in the linked .NET MAUI samples repository and reproduce the issue in the Android 12 emulator. Inspect how the buttons on each tab page are laid out, then verify that their text no longer clips and that the sample still behaves correctly on the affected pages.
