Page changing using menu bar stops command in menu bar from working

[HimanshuBansal112]

Description

Since MenuBarItem did not had command binding option, I chose MenuFlyoutItem. But when doing navigation in it, it stops command in menu bar from working. It doesn't crash but it stops working.

Steps to Reproduce

Add to MainPage.xaml:

<ContentPage.MenuBarItems>
      <MenuBarItem Text="Pages">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Page1"
                            Command="{Binding TapCommand}"/>
        </MenuBarItem>
</ContentPage.MenuBarItems>

Add to MainViewModel.cs:

		[RelayCommand]
		async Task Tap()
		{
			await Shell.Current.GoToAsync(nameof(Page1));
		}

Add to Page1.xaml

<ContentPage.MenuBarItems>
        <MenuBarItem Text="Options">
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="GoBack"
                            Command="{Binding GoBackCommand}"/>
            <MenuFlyoutItem Text="Exit"
                            Command="{Binding ExitCommand}"/>
        </MenuBarItem>
    </ContentPage.MenuBarItems>

Add to Page1ViewModel.cs

		[RelayCommand]
		public static void Exit()
		{
			System.Environment.Exit(0);
		}

		[RelayCommand]
		async Task GoBack()
		{
			await Shell.Current.GoToAsync("..");
		}

As usual add to AppShell.xaml.cs

Routing.RegisterRoute(nameof(Page1), typeof(Page1));

and add to MauiProgram.cs

                builder.Services.AddSingleton<MainPage>();
		builder.Services.AddSingleton<MainViewModel>();

		builder.Services.AddTransient<Page1>();
		builder.Services.AddTransient<Page1>();

I tested in .net 8, it does not work there as well. I have made a repo at https://github.com/HimanshuBansal112/NetMauiIssue
It also has issue after we go to any page from menu bar then come back and then try to go again, it does not work.

Seems like the flyout items' binding context is getting lost during the navigation process. For me I have 'fixed' the issue like this:

protected override void OnAppearing()
{
    base.OnAppearing();

    foreach (var item in MenuBarItems)
    {
        item.BindingContext = BindingContext;
    }
}
