Description
From @yassern on May 25, 2018 19:49
This bug is android only, I have a Slider and a TextField that have the same ngModel attribute reference and when the value of that attribute is updated, the cursor goes to the first position of the input, no matters if the user use the textfield or the slider.
Sample project:
https://play.nativescript.org/?template=play-ng&id=O0oLGQ&v=1

Research direction
Start with the linked NativeScript Playground sample and reproduce the Android-only behavior using the Slider and TextField sharing the same ngModel reference. Trace the TextField value-update handling, then verify that editing or sliding preserves the cursor position instead of moving it to the first position.
