Can't drag to select with a mouse in TextField on iOS/iPadOS #105639
Description
Dragging to select with a mouse on a TextField should select the range of text from the position where the drag started to the position where the drag moves to. On iPad it selects a few characters and stops.
Tested on master & stable.

To reproduce
- Run any app with text field, such as the one below.
- Focus the field and enter a couple of lines of text.
- Drag from one position in the text to another position.

Actual: Few characters are selected and then stops.
