Summary:
Fixes #41988
Hopefully even if this isn't the right way to go about solving this, it at least points in the right direction for a different fix!
Currently - both on Paper and Fabric - the
selectTextOnFocus
prop does not work as expected on a single line text input. It seems that if theUITextField
has not yet become the first responder, the text will be briefly selected but then deselected immediately afterward.This can be seen in the tester when running for either Fabric or Paper (video using Fabric)
selectTextOnFocus-before.mp4
Instead, we can move the
selectAll
call toreactFocus
inRCTBaseTextInputView
orfocus
RCTTextInputComponentView
- both of which first callbecomeFirstResponder
- to get the expected result.Changelog:
[IOS] [FIXED] - fix selectTextOnFocus in Fabric and non-Fabric by calling selectAll after becomeFirstResponder
