iOS capital letters keyboard always enabled in rich text block regardless of cursor position

[dcalhoun]

Description

The capital/uppercase keyboard is erroneously displayed when tapping/focusing a rich text block regardless of whether or not the cursor is positioned at the beginning of a sentence.

This issue was originally reported in wordpress-mobile/gutenberg-mobile#3085 from an App Store review, which is captured below.

Had everything that would make it a good mobile editor but the cursor keep jumping up and down, the edits won’t register, I can’t see what I typed, update takes forever. I would be editing line (block) 15 and the cursor will jump to block 6, then back to 15, then to 10. The keyboard will also blink up and down. What I type for block 15 will end up in the middle of block 10. When clicking in a block, no matter where you are it’s automatically capitalised, not friendly with mobile editing, especially with how hard to finely control the cursor within a word.
