Description

It appears that the device does a short vibration when the visibility is changed (and the cursor jumps to the end).

Can we get an option to disable this "feature"?
It seems handy to indicate that a password-field got visible but it would be good to decide ourselves.

PS: _Why_ is it vibrating in the first place? I cannot identify the piece of code doing it.
PPS: Using Android N Preview 2

Research direction

Start by reproducing the visibility toggle on Android N Preview 2 and trace the code path that changes visibility, since the issue does not name a file or entry point. Determine how the vibration and cursor movement are triggered. Done means callers can choose whether toggling visibility vibrates, while the existing visibility behavior remains intact.
