[alantoa]

Description

I have noticed that when I set the cursor: 'pointer' for the Text component, the app breaks, although it works well for View.

Hey @Saadnajmi, I know that the cursor prop feature is your contribution, and thank you for your great PR!

I understand that maybe it is unnecessary to set it for Text in VisionOS, but sometimes we need to use it for RN Web. So I'm wondering if we can just ignore this prop on Text instead of throwing an error?

EDIT: Fix onto main, which I guess can be picked if it lands? #44563

Ah yeah this is a legitimate bug. We should either allow you to set cursor on Text, or filter it out (presumably by not including it in Text's ViewConfig). I can look into what works in a bit.

Initial testing, this only reproes on the old architecture.
