Issue Description

I found some layout issues on Android modal dialogs (fullscreen: false). They occur since @nativescript/core 9.0.13+.

<Page showingModally="onPageShowingModally">
    <GridLayout rows="auto,*,auto">
        <Label row="0" text="Title" className="modal-title"/>
        <ScrollView row="1">
            <GridLayout rows="auto,*" padding="15">
                <TextField row="0" hint="Enter some text..." />
                <Label row="1" text="{{ longText }}" textWrap="true"/>
            </GridLayout>
        </ScrollView>

        <GridLayout row="2" columns="auto,auto" className="modal-actions-container">
            <Button col="0" text="Cancel" tap="cancelModalPage" className="btn-modal-action"/>
            <Button col="1" text="Confirm" tap="confirmModalPage" className="btn-modal-action"/>
        </GridLayout>
    </GridLayout>
</Page>

This is how the modal should look like (and how it looks like on nativescript/core 9.0.12):

This is how it behaves on core 9.0.13+:

The buttons at the bottom of the Page are missing, until I rotate the device or open the keyboard of the TextField (then the padding is still not correct, but the buttons are visible at least)

The issue seems to be caused by this change between 9.0.12 and 9.0.13:

Reproduction

ns9test.zip

Build and run the app
Tap the "show modal" button -> Buttons on the bottom are missing
rotate the device to landscape and back -> Buttons are visible (still with wrong padding)

Relevant log output (if applicable)
