Two differently styled Text components inside a TextInput display the same style sometimes

Description

The general idea is to create a <TextInput> with a bolded text for a user's name, like you might see on Slack or Instagram etc: **@someone** hello world.

This is done in my React Native app using a <TextInput> with two <Text> components inside it. The first <Text> component has a bold style, while the second <Text> has no special style.

If I change the text string inside the second text, the behavior differs. Sometimes, I tap on the end of the TextInput, and the style of the second text changes to match the style of the first one. That's wrong. The style should not change. With other strings, the style does not change, and that is the expected behavior.

So, the behavior is inconsistent and unexpected, which indicates a bug in <TextInput>.

Sample code:

    <View style={{paddingHorizontal: 24, borderColor: 'black', borderWidth: 2, margin: 2, borderRadius: 2}}>
    <TextInput multiline>
        <Text style={{"fontWeight":"bold","color":"blue","backgroundColor":"white"}}>David Tabaka</Text>
        <Text> The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and the</Text>
    </TextInput>
    </View>

The bug is causing problems in another public project as well as in my own project - https://github.com/dabakovich/react-native-controlled-mentions

Steps to reproduce

Create the example default project for React Native.

Add the following code snippet. Make sure not to add it inside a <Section> component, which will confuse the issue.

          <View style={{paddingHorizontal: 24, borderColor: 'black', borderWidth: 2, margin: 2, borderRadius: 2}}>
            <TextInput multiline>
              <Text style={{"fontWeight":"bold","color":"blue","backgroundColor":"white"}}>David Tabaka</Text>
              <Text> The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog</Text>
            </TextInput>
          </View>
          <View style={{paddingHorizontal: 24, borderColor: 'black', borderWidth: 2, margin: 2, borderRadius: 2}}>
            <TextInput multiline>
              <Text style={{"fontWeight":"bold","color":"blue","backgroundColor":"white"}}>David Tabaka</Text>
              <Text> The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dog and the</Text>
            </TextInput>
          </View>

Now run the app on an Android device (I'm using a Samsung A71).

Tap the first TextInput at the end. You will see nothing strange happen - the styles do not change, which is correct.

Next, tap the second TextInput at the end. You will see the style of the first Text get applied to the second Text (see video recording attached). That's the bug.

Snack, code example, screenshot, or link to a repository

Here's a repo that demos the issue.

https://github.com/fullStackOasis/react-native-styled-text-in-textinput

That repo can be used to demo the issue. It also contains a screenrecording in the README. The screenshot below shows how the second Text has had its style changed after tapping at the end of the TextInput as described.

首先，在 Android 设备上复现链接的 styled-text-in-textinput 演示中的行为，按照两个多行 TextInput 示例操作，并在最后点击每个输入框。然后跟踪 React Native 中 TextInput 的 Android 入口点，以确定第二个 Text 的样式为何发生变化；当两个嵌套的 Text 组件在两个示例中都保持各自不同的样式时，即表示完成。
