UISearchBar language switching worked fine in tvOS 17 but breaks in tvOS 18

Issue:- The characters in SearchController SearchBar are overlapping on focusing.

Steps:-

  1. Select the System language as Arabic
  2. Launch the tvOS app
  3. Set the app language as English in the tvOS app
  4. Focus on SearchController SearchBar
  5. Focus on any characters there you can see overlapping issue.

Our engineering teams need to investigate this issue, as resolution may involve changes to Apple's software. I'd greatly appreciate it if you could open a bug report, include a focused sample project that reproduces the issue, and post the FB number here once you do.
