Description
Description
I've noticed at least 2 regressions with 0.83
❗[attached video below] TextInput layout change issues: changing value on TextInput doesn't seem to update layout correctly and reposition the views around it. We mainly noticed it when using TextInput to vertically align the phone number prefix text (+1) with real input
Less important but still, fontWeight on iOS kinda snaps between Bold/Normal, completely ignoring values like 500 600. I noticed #54976 which seems to address this issue but I'm not 100% confident if that's the cause. Wanted to highlight it while I get the chance
Steps to reproduce
- Init a fresh 0.83.1 app
- Copy and paste the
BrokenLayoutOnInputChangescomponent from the repro snack to the App.tsx and render it - Tap on the red area which toggles the
TextInputvalue between+1and+52to see that it layouts it incorrectly - Optionally try running it on 0.82.1 and observe that it works fine

Research direction
Start by running the linked Snack reproducer on React Native 0.83.1 and compare its TextInput layout behavior with 0.82.1. Investigate the value change from +1 to +52 separately from the reported iOS fontWeight behavior, including the referenced #54976. Done means the surrounding views reposition correctly and supported intermediate font weights no longer snap between Bold and Normal.
