Next button functionality not working correctly on iOS 26.0.1

[astanb]

Describe the bug
When trying to focus through the fields by pressing the next button on ios 26.0.1, the caret moves through them, but when it focuses on a field that is behind the keyboard, the scrollview does not scroll it into view. This isn't a problem when going backwards using the Prev button. Interestingly, if I type something on the keyboard when the input is out of view, it immediately focuses.

There is no issue on iOS 18.3.1

@astanb is the same issue as #1122?

Hi, yes it seems to be very similar. Their video shows no text being input when they press ‘r’ key but I presume that is a separate issue on their side.

@astanb it looks like the issue has been fixed on iOS 26.1. Could you please check it and let me know?
