I have used the normal Entry with Custom Renderer. Inside customRenderer I have used the DigitsKeyListener. In portrait mode, if I have type 3.5 and I have rotated to Landscape mode, it shows 35

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Run the attached sample
  2. Type 3.5 in portrait mode
  3. With EditMode rotate to landscape mode
  4. The 35 has shown in landscape mode

In landscape edit mode also the dot has to show

Actual Behavior

The special characters are not shown in landscape edit mode

Research direction
Check if the DigitsKeyListener is being reapplied or retained during orientation change. Ensure the custom renderer properly handles configuration changes and does not lose the key listener.
