Description
Description
I encountered an issue where the keyboard changes from uppercase to lowercase when switching focus between two TextInput fields. Specifically, when focusing from Text Input Field A to Text Input Field B, and then back from Text Input Field B to Text Input Field A, the keyboard behavior unexpectedly switches between uppercase and lowercase.
This issue occurs on iOS 18.
Steps to reproduce
- Add two TextInput fields.
- Focus on TextInput 1 and input some text (e.g., "T").
- Focus on TextInput 2 and input some text (e.g., "B").
- Focus back on TextInput 1.
- Focus back on TextInput 2.
- Observe that the keyboard switches from uppercase to lowercase and the first letter of the text remains uppercase.

style={{
width: 100,
height: 40, // Added height for the input box
borderWidth: 1, // Corrected border style
backgroundColor: 'red', // Corrected background color property
}}
/>
</View>

Research direction
Start with the linked Snack reproducer on iOS 18 using React Native 0.76.3, following the two-TextInput focus sequence described in the issue. No source file or test is named; confirm the uppercase/lowercase transition and define done as consistent keyboard behavior when switching between the fields.
