RNW Elements being affected by pointerEvents

[semiautomatix]

I have a peculiar problem resulting from using Ignite 2.0 and react-native-windows whereby the TextInputs are positioning the cursor at the beginning of a field when the field is populated using the value property. See below.

---

Install Ignite 2.0 as per instructions
npm install --save-dev rnpm-plugin-windows
react-native windows
react-native run-windows

It's also preventing ScrollView from scrolling - so could be a bigger problem than just a textinput,

I believed I've narrowed down the issue to the pointerEvents property. The react-native-drawer component contains this property in View (and I've also tested react-native-drawer-layout
that contains this property in Animated.View). The specific piece of code is:

<View
          pointerEvents={ this._open && this.shouldCaptureGestures() ? 'auto' : 'none' }
/>

and

const pointerEvents = drawerShown ? 'auto' : 'none';

<Animated.View
            pointerEvents={pointerEvents}
/>

@GantMan or @kevinvangelder can probably make some suggestions on this.

@semiautomatix sounds like there are two separate problems here:

1. Cursor position
2. Issue with drawer and ScrollView gestures

@semiautomatix please update if this is still an issue.

Thanks @rozele. I'm no longer on this project, so can't comment on whether the issue persists. I'm happy to close.
