Current behaviour

Since merging the changes for the React Native 0.79 upgrade, when focusing on any TextInput, the cursor position moves to the start of the value.

Some examples are the WebDAV url input on sync settings, the note history keep for input on note history settings, and title input on the note editor.

Reproduction steps:
-For any of the suggested inputs above, with another input in focus initially, tap the input at a position which is not the start of the value, with a value already present
-Observe that cursor position very briefly shows at the position which you tapped, but then moves to the start of the input
-If you tap the input again, you are then able to correctly move the cursor to the desired position, but if you tap another input and then back onto it, again the cursor will move to the start of the value. This is a frustrating user experience, but not unusable

Expected behaviour

The cursor position go to the place where the user has tapped, without it jumping to the start of the value shortly afterward
