Description

Having a TextInput that gets a value or defaultValue prop and has textAlign: 'center' in its styles causes a bug that puts the cursor at the right end of the input when the input is cleared.

React Native version:
0.60.5

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Have a TextInput that gets a value or defaultValue prop passed to it and has style textAlign: center.
  2. Type some text into the input.
  3. Clear the input.
  4. The input cursor jumps to the right end of the input.

Describe what you expected to happen:

Have the cursor at the center of the input after clearing the input.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository:

<TextInput
  style={{textAlign: 'center'}}
  value={value}
/>```
