[ScrollView] `keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"` doesn't work

[gigobyte]

Description

The RNGH ScrollView doesn't count Pressable taps or Gesture.Tap() taps as handled in the context of keyboardShouldPersistTaps. This is both on iOS and Android.

For the purpose of demonstration I set up the same example with RN components and RNGH components:

Screen.Recording.2026-01-19.at.21.09.55.mov

Here is the code:

import {
  Pressable as RNPressable,
  ScrollView as RNScrollView,
  TextInput as RNTextInput,
} from 'react-native'
import {
  Pressable as RNGHPressable,
  ScrollView as RNGHScrollView,
  TextInput as RNGHTextInput,
} from 'react-native-gesture-handler'

 <RNScrollView
  keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
  contentContainerStyle={{ height: 200, backgroundColor: 'red' }}
>
  <RNPressable
    style={{ width: 100, height: 100, backgroundColor: 'green' }}
    onPress={() => {}}
  >
    <RNTextInput value="RN input" />
  </RNPressable>
</RNScrollView>

<RNGHScrollView
  keyboardShouldPersistTaps="handled"
  contentContainerStyle={{ height: 200, backgroundColor: 'blue' }}
>
  <RNGHPressable
    style={{ width: 100, height: 100, backgroundColor: 'green' }}
    onPress={() => {}}
  >
    <RNGHTextInput value="RNGH input" />
  </RNGHPressable>
</RNGHScrollView>

Steps to reproduce

1. Run the code from the description
2. Tap the text input to focus it
3. Tap on the green Pressable, the keyboard shouldn't hide
