Fast typing on TextInput field negates clearing the field

[larkox]

Description

This seems to be a regression. On a React-Native 0.67.2 does not happen, but on React-Native 0.68.2 seems to reproduce. Seems to reproduce also both on Android and iOS.

If you type fast into an input box, and then have a button that clears the text (be it by reassigning the value property, be it by using the setNativeProps), if you hit the button while you are typing, the box never gets cleared.

Version

0.68.2

Steps to reproduce

Fast type with one hand (this is easily done by just mashing the keys of a keyboard in the simulator, but works also on mobile) while you hit the button with the other.

The expected result is that when you hit the button, the field gets cleared, and the new input starts from zero. The seen result is that when you hit the button, the field does not get cleared, it just keeps writing where it left.

If you stop typing and hit the button, it gets cleared correctly.

export default function App() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <TextInput value={value} onChangeText={setValue}/>
      <Button title='clear' onPress={() => setValue('')}/>
    </View>
  );
}

@kelset any chance someone with knowledge around the TextInput can take a look at this?
