SwiftUI safe area stays offset after keyboard dismissal with “Reduce Motion” + “Prefer Cross-Fade” enabled (iOS 26)

I’m seeing a layout issue in SwiftUI on iOS 26 that only reproduces with specific Accessibility Motion settings.

Steps to reproduce 1. Open Settings → Accessibility → Motion.

2.	Enable Reduce Motion and Prefer Cross-Fade Transitions.

3.	Launch an app with a SwiftUI TextField.

4.	Tap the field to show the keyboard.

5.	Dismiss the keyboard (tap outside, swipe down, etc.).

Expected: After the keyboard is dismissed, the view’s bottom safe area / layout should return to normal.

Actual:

The view continues to reserve space equal to the keyboard height — as if the keyboard were still visible. UI anchored to the safe area remains shifted upward until the view is reloaded.
