[UWP][Hololens] TouchScreenKeyboard's shift key duplicates last typed character

How to reproduce:
1. Open user's attached project -or- download newest Mixed reality toolkit for unity
2. Open "HandInteractionUnityUIExample.unity" scene
3. Set that scene to be the only loaded scene for the build
4. Check that build target is UWP
5. Build and deploy to Hololens
6. Select Input Field "Try selecting this text."
7. Type in one character
8. Press shift

Actual result: Next character you will type gonna be capitalized
Expected result: Last typed character gets duplicated

Reproducible with: 2019.1.14f1, 2019.2.6f1, 2019.3.0b4, 2020.1.0a4
Could not test with: 2017.4.x (errors), 2018.4 (keyboard failed to instantiate)

Notes:
- was not able to reproduce the issue with a small example project
- in the small example, project keyboard instantiates right on 2018.4

  1. Resolution Note (fix version 2020.1):

    This issue was caused by passing invalid data into CoreTextEditContext::NotifyTextChanged for the 'newSelection' parameter. Due to a uint overflow bug, the newSelection argument contained a "negative range", were endPos < startPos. Fixing the overflow bug addressed this issue.

    NOTE: This issue doesn't occur on UWP Desktop, hence the overflow bug when unnoticed. It appears the HoloLens implementation of this API doesn't validate parameters as the Desktop version does.

    What version of Unity 2019.1 or 2019.2 has this fix? The latest as of 10/30/2019, version 2019.2.10f was not showing this fixed on the HoloLens/UWP platform.
