Changing TextInput selection after setting text crash

When TextInput selection is updated after changing the text (using InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions to wait for the change to apply) RN crashes. You get error like “setSpan(4 … 4) ends beyond length” which indicates that the text field text has not changed like you would expect when using runAfterInteractions. React Native version:

Steps To Reproduce

1. Change controlled TextInput value in code
2. Change TextInput selection to be after the inserted text using InteractionManager.runAfterInteractions

or just run the example in repo I linked and press the button.

Describe what you expected to happen: Selection changes to place after inserted text
