Section Header Overlaps with Cell Text in Plain List Style on iOS 26

Hi everyone,

I've noticed that on iOS 26 beta 1 through beta 4, when using a List with the .plain style, the section header overlaps with the cell content below it, as there is no background for the header. This creates a poor visual experience.

Additionally, when using NavigationSplitView on iPad, the second column's list always shows this issue.

Is this an intentional design change, or just a temporary issue? I haven't found a good workaround so far.

Thanks!
