Description
I've encountered a strange issue where no characters except for numbers will enter or display in FlxInputText fields when using a Chromium-based browser on Android.
I've attached a sample project. You'll need an Android device, a Chromium browser (such as Chrome or Brave) and the ability to test a local HTML5 project on your device.
Even with a standard NO_FILTER text input, the only characters that can be entered are numerical characters. At first I thought it had to do with keycodes, but those number keys also count as keycodes, so I'm uncertain of what my be happening here. Firefox works as expected.
Edit: I found the root cause. It most likely due to this Android browser issue. I'm working on a fix and will have a PR out later today.

Research direction
Start with FlxInputText fields and reproduce the behavior using the attached TextDemo.zip on an Android device with a Chromium browser. Check the linked Android browser issue for context; done means nonnumeric characters can be entered and displayed with NO_FILTER while Firefox behavior remains unchanged.
