Description

I'm using Swiper and on the second page there is a textinput. When the user changes the text in the textinput I call setState() to update the state with the changes. The problem is, when the state reloads, Swipe automatically shows the first page not the second page. I've tried to set the index prop on Swipe but it doesn't seem to work correctly. Any way to keep the current page when updating the state?

<TextInput
    onChangeText={(name) => {this.setState({name})}}
    value={this.state.name} />

Research direction

Reproduce the issue with Swiper, a TextInput on the second page, and the onChangeText setState flow shown in the report. Start by tracing how the Swiper index prop is handled during state updates; done means changing the input preserves the current page instead of returning to the first page.
