Steps to reproduce

  1. Create an app with a text field
  2. Run it on an Android device with no external keyboard connected
  3. Type something in the text field using the virtual keyboard
  4. Connect an external keyboard to the Android device

Expected results

I can continue typing in the text field using my external keyboard.

Actual results

The focused text field's content is reset.
