Updated EditableText scroll into view behavior
Summary
#
The Editable.onCaretChanged callback is removed. With this change,
EditableText behavior for scrolling the selection into view
changes.
Context
#
Previously, upon scrolling into view to show user updates, EditableText
used multiple mechanisms to determine the extent of the selection or the
caret location.
Description of change
#
By removing the Editable.onCaretChanged callback, EditableText will always
use the most up-to-date selection extent location when scrolling to show it.
Specifically, this improves scroll into view behavior after
changing selection from collapsed to non-collapsed using
userUpdateTextEditingValue().
