iPadOS 26 – SwiftUI Menu in ToolbarItem shifts during pointer hover when view is presented as sheet

I am observing inconsistent pointer hover behavior for a SwiftUI Menu placed inside a ToolbarItem on iPadOS 26.2 (real device).

Scenario:

• Screen A is pushed inside a NavigationStack. • Screen B is presented as a sheet (with its own NavigationStack). • Both screens contain the same toolbar Menu item using an SF Symbol (arrow.up.arrow.down).

Observed behavior:

• In the pushed view, hover is mostly stable.
• In the sheet-presented view, the SF Symbol visibly shifts/jumps when pointer hover activates.
• The hover highlight shape differs from the native navigation back button.
• Label-level hoverEffect modifiers do not stabilize the behavior.

Minimal example:

import SwiftUI

struct ContentView: View { @State private var showSheet = false

var body: some View {
    NavigationStack {
        VStack {
            Button("Open Sheet") {
                showSheet = true
            }
        }
        .navigationTitle("Home")
        .toolbar {
            ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) {
                Menu {
                    Button("Option A") { }
                    Button("Option B") { }
                } label: {
                    Image(systemName: "arrow.up.arrow.down")
                }
            }
        }
        .sheet(isPresented: $showSheet) {
            SheetView()
        }
    }
}

}

struct SheetView: View { var body: some View { NavigationStack { Text("Sheet View") .navigationTitle("Sheet") .toolbar { ToolbarItem(placement: .topBarTrailing) { Menu { Button("Option A") { } Button("Option B") { } } label: { Image(systemName: "arrow.up.arrow.down") } } } } } }

This behavior is reproducible 100% on device.

Is this expected behavior for Menu inside ToolbarItem when presented as a sheet, or a regression in pointer interaction rendering?
