[BUG] TouchBehavior: Tap and LongPress conflict (Tap fires after LongPress, or LongPress misfires as Tap)

[rokmeglic71]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing issues

Did you read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file?

• I have read the "Reporting a bug" section on Contributing file: https://github.com/CommunityToolkit/Maui/blob/main/CONTRIBUTING.md#reporting-a-bug

Current Behavior

When using TouchBehavior to handle both tap and long‑press gestures on the same control, the events/commands overlap in unexpected ways.

• If you attach both TouchGestureCompleted and LongPressCompleted, a long press triggers both handlers.

• If you mix TapGestureRecognizer with TouchBehavior.LongPressCommand, sometimes a long press also triggers a tap, or two quick taps are mis‑interpreted as a long press.

This makes it difficult to reliably distinguish between a quick tap and a long press.

Expected Behavior

Expected behavior
Quick tap → only OnTapCompleted fires.

Long press → only OnLongPressCompleted fires.

Steps To Reproduce

Reproduction
MainPage.xaml

<ContentPage xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2021/maui"
             xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2009/xaml"
             xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/dotnet/2022/maui/toolkit"
             x:Class="TouchBugDemo.MainPage">

    <Grid Padding="40">
        <Grid.Behaviors>
            <toolkit:TouchBehavior 
                LongPressDuration="5000"
                TouchGestureCompleted="OnTapCompleted"
                LongPressCompleted="OnLongPressCompleted" />
        </Grid.Behaviors>

        <Border Stroke="Gray" StrokeThickness="2" Padding="20">
            <Label Text="Tap or Long Press me"
                   HorizontalOptions="Center"
                   VerticalOptions="Center" />
        </Border>
    </Grid>
</ContentPage>

MainPage.xaml.cs

public partial class MainPage : ContentPage
{
    public MainPage()
    {
        InitializeComponent();
    }

    private void OnTapCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Tap fired");
    }

    private void OnLongPressCompleted(object sender, EventArgs e)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Long press fired");
    }
}

1. Open the project
2. Tap on Grid multiple times with minimal delay between taps - you will see Long press fired also
3. Long press - you will see normal tap fired also

Environment

- .NET MAUI CommunityToolkit: 12.2.0
- OS: Microsoft Windows 10 Pro - 10.0.19045 Graditev 19045
- .NET MAUI: 9.0.110

Anything else?

Sometimes if you do fast taps, then do a long press. You will get multiple long press fired in a short amount of time (less then the LongPressDuration).

Thank you for CoPilot who prepared everything.
