TapGestureRecognizer on Span does not work on Windows

[sjorsmiltenburg]

Description

I found multiple issues with TapRecognizers not working on Windows but none of them seemed to relate to spans.

The following TapGestureRecogrinze does not trigger on Windows.
Not with a command binding, also not with an event binding.

It does work on android.
This used to work on Windows.

I tried setting a background color on the span and the label (as suggested by #15810) but this did not solve the issue.

Steps to Reproduce

open repo,
launch Windows version

• click bug 11
• clcking on the first 3 urls does not work
• clicking on the rectangle works
  launch Android version
• all work

I think that #17731 fixed this issue.
