Turning TextBox.ShowNativeInput off on Android doesn't display inputted text when typing

On Android phones (I’m guessing all of them) inputting text in a TextBox with ShowNativeInput set to true displays the text entry on the top of the screen. Turning this property off does not display any text until the user hits enter/send.

This behavior is shown in the video below:


Repro steps:

  1. Join the repro place (or download and publish the repro) on an Android phone
  2. Try to type in both of of the TextBoxes
  3. Observe the behavior outlined above

I can repro this behavior 100% of the time on my Android phone. I cannot replicate this behavior with the Roblox Studio device emulator. I do not have an iOS device to test this with. I’m testing with a Pixel 5 running Android 11 on the Android Roblox app version 2.454.413308

This issue still occurs and also occurs on iOS.
