Description

Dismissing the link picker without setting a link makes the editor get locked and prevents the user to interact with it and the app. This is a major issue as in order to keep using the app, the user would require closing and reopening it.

UPDATE: This issue only happens when the software keyboard is not displayed within the editor, like for example when an external keyboard is connected.

NOTE: I couldn't manage to reproduce this behavior on Android so looks like it only affect the iOS version. It can also be reproduced on Android by connecting an external keyboard and hiding the software keyboard.

I also confirm that this can't be reproduced on the latest WordPress app production version 18.8 and beta 18.9.

Step-by-step reproduction instructions

Preparation:

1. Connect an external keyboard to the device.
2. (Only on Android) Open the keyboard settings of the device and disable "Show on-screen keyboard" (see attached screenshot)

1. In a Paragraph block, tap on the Link button located in the formatting toolbar.
2. Tap on "Link to" item to open the link picker.
3. Tap on "Cancel" button to dismiss it.
4. Dismiss the block settings by tapping on the backdrop.
5. Observe that no interaction can be made on the editor and app.

Expected behaviour

The editor and app should be interactable after dismissing the link picker.

Actual behaviour

The editor and app get locked and prevent any kind of interaction after dismissing the link picker.
