Description
Problem Description
Originally from https://github.com/microsoft/react-native-windows/issues/14357
If text extends past the end of the input, we can't access the text (it doesn't "scroll" to the overflowed text). It also increases the height of the input even though multiline is not set (and does not wrap)
Contributor guide
First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.
- Comment on the issue to say you are picking it up — it saves two people doing the same work.
- Fork the repository and make your change on a branch.
- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue through the Fabric TextInput entry point, using text longer than the visible input. Locate the native implementation and any existing TextInput tests; done means overflowed text can be accessed without scrolling and a non-multiline input no longer grows in height or wraps.
