I'm not sure if buttons in a form are good UI practise but can someone explain the following. If I have the following very simple code each button responds seperately:

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        HStack {
            Button("Button 1") {
                print("Button 1")
            }
            Spacer()
            Button("Button 2") {
                print("Button 2")
            }
        }
    }
}

If I change the code to the following which ever button is pressed it prints "Button 1" and "Button 2"

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Form {
            Section(header: Text("Test")) {
                HStack {
                    Button("Button 1") {
                        print("Button 1")
                    }
                    Spacer()
                    Button("Button 2") {
                        print("Button 2")
                    }
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Additionally if I add some text that responds to:

struct ContentView: View {
    var body: some View {
        Form {
            Section(header: Text("Test")) {
                VStack {
                    HStack {
                        Button("Button 1") {
                            print("Button 1")
                        }
                        Spacer()
                        Button("Button 2") {
                            print("Button 2")
                        }
                    }

                    Text("Some Text")
                        .font(.headline)
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

It's like the section has become one button and I can press anywhere and get the same response.

This is a known issue. (Whether it is intended behavior or not, I cannot say.) You can fix it by using the modifier .buttonStyle(BorderlessButtonStyle()). You can attach it either to each button individually or to the enclosing HStack (in which case it will apply to all buttons within that stack).
