Before submitting a new issue

• I tested using the latest version of the library, as the bug might be already fixed.
• I tested using a supported version of react native.
• I checked for possible duplicate issues, with possible answers.

@joshholmeszonal The windows part of this library is maintained directly by Microsoft, let me ping them.

[joshholmeszonal]

Hey @zoontek with this changing to a feature, is it something that Microsoft will be working on?

Thanks for bubbling this up! I've filed an issue on the RNW repo: microsoft/react-native-windows#14339

Please don't hesitate to file issues directly on the React Native for Windows repo (which is actively monitored and triaged): https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/issues/
