TextInput with multiline and fixed height shows inconsistent text positioning on initial render

Description

When using a TextInput with multiline={true}, fixed height, and textAlignVertical="top", the text positioning is inconsistent depending on navigation path. When a user first opens the app and navigates to a screen containing long text that overflows the TextInput, the text appears "squashed" towards the top with content cut off under the border. However, if the user navigates back to the home screen, opens a note with shorter content first, then returns to the long note, the text positioning displays correctly.

This appears to be a layout initialization timing issue where the TextInput doesn't properly calculate its content positioning on first render when dealing with overflow content.

Steps to reproduce

1. Clone the reproduction repository: git clone https://github.com/Jakes-Git-Hub/Multi-Line-Test.git
2. Install dependencies with npm install
3. Start the app with npx expo start
4. Open the app and immediately tap on either "Long Note Example" or "Another Overflow Note"
5. Observe that the text appears squashed towards the top with content cut off under the border
6. Navigate back to the home screen using the back button
7. Tap on the "Short" note (single word content)
8. Navigate back and tap on one of the long notes again
9. Observe that the text now displays correctly with proper positioning

Also if i go into another long note after initially opening a long note, the text positioning adjusts to a middle ground between squashed and what would be the text position if sequence was long note -> short note -> LN.

Commencez par exécuter le reproducteur obligatoire de Multi-Line-Test avec React Native 0.81.5 et comparez le chemin initial des notes longues avec le chemin de navigation des notes courtes sur iOS. Examinez le comportement de TextInput multiligne avec une hauteur fixe, un contenu qui déborde et textAlignVertical="top". Le travail est terminé lorsque les notes longues ont une position du texte cohérente lors de leur premier rendu et après la navigation, sans que le contenu soit coupé sous la bordure.
