[BUG] Hide soft keyboard options automatically deselects the text field

[Krstn]

Hello

there’s a bug in text mesh pro 3.2.0-pre1 where if on Android, in TMP Input Field the Hide Soft Keyboard is selected, it will immediately deselect the text field upon selection.
This causes the ‘On Deselect’ event to be called.
It seems the LateUpdate code:

if (m_SoftKeyboard == null || m_SoftKeyboard.status != TouchScreenKeyboard.Status.Visible)

is missing a check for this flag.

Text field behaves properly when ran in editor play mode.

After updating to the 3.2.0 preview version, i…
