FlashList v2 (Android): tap-to-edit focuses the wrong row's TextInput

[2shrestha22]

Description

On Android, when a FlashList row's tap handler swaps that row from a TouchableOpacity to an autofocused TextInput, the focused TextInput ends up on a different row than the one tapped. Tapping Item 10 may focus Item 3's TextInput with "Item 3" shown as the initial value. FlatList with identical row markup does not exhibit this.

Current behavior

Tap a row in the middle of a scrolled FlashList. On Android:

• A different row becomes the focused / editing row.
• That row's TextInput shows its own name as the initial value.
• The on-screen editingId debug text reflects the other row's id.
• Sometimes the tap does not work. Keyboard appears and hides quickly.

Expected behavior

The tapped row's TextInput is the one that mounts and gains focus, with the tapped row's name as the initial value — same as FlatList.
