Any update? I'm writing kind of WYSIWYG editor, and my approach is that I'm creating 'fake' elements that imitate whats inside text edit with styles. Thats why I need very solid control over line height.

Still having this issue though :(((

In advance of a real fix here, any suggestions to work around?

[drpiou]

Same here with RN 0.51.

[shergin]

It should be fixed in master now! Can anybody confirm?

@shergin Still seems not fixed for 0.53, correct me if I'm using it wrong

code:

      <View style={styles.container}>
        <Text
          style={{
            lineHeight: 40,

        <TextInput multiline placeholder='placeholder'
          style={{
            lineHeight: 40,
            borderWidth: 1,

        />
      </View>

@shergin Yes! I've tested my app out on latest React Native master, and I can confirm this is fixed. Thank you 🙌

Note to others: not fixed in any React Native releases yet including 0.53.

Fixed in master.

Are you sure this is fixed? Getting this using 0.57 and iOS:

  storyText: {
    fontSize: 18,
    marginTop: 18,
    fontFamily: 'noto-sans',
    color: '#444',
    lineHeight: 1000,
    textAlign: 'left',
    backgroundColor: '#fff',
  },

        <TextInput
          style={styles.storyText}
          multiline={true}
          keyboardType="default"
          placeholder="Your Message"
        />

@ArsenyYankovsky can you verify 0.58.0-rc and open a new issue if it's reproducing there?

[martinchristov]

Issue persists on RN 0.57.7

@martinchristov can you verify 0.58-rc and open a new issue if it's not resolved in the RC?
