Description
Description
I use this component:
import React, { forwardRef } from "react";
import {
ScrollView,
ScrollViewProps,
View,
} from "react-native";
export type KeyboardAwareScrollViewProps = {
/** The distance between keyboard and focused `TextInput` when keyboard is shown. Default is `0`. */
bottomOffset?: number;
/** Prevents automatic scrolling of the `ScrollView` when the keyboard gets hidden, maintaining the current screen position. Default is `false`. */
disableScrollOnKeyboardHide?: boolean;
/** Controls whether this `KeyboardAwareScrollView` instance should take effect. Default is `true` */
enabled?: boolean;
/** Adjusting the bottom spacing of KeyboardAwareScrollView. Default is `0` */
extraKeyboardSpace?: number;
/** Custom component for `ScrollView`. Default is `ScrollView` */
ScrollViewComponent?: React.ComponentType<ScrollViewProps>;
} & ScrollViewProps;
const KeyboardAwareScrollView = forwardRef<
ScrollView,
React.PropsWithChildren<KeyboardAwareScrollViewProps>
>(
(
{
children,
...rest
},
ref,
) => {
return (
<>
<ScrollView {...rest} scrollEventThrottle={16}>
{children}
<View style={{height: 336, backgroundColor: 'red'}} />
</ScrollView>
</>
);
},
);
export default KeyboardAwareScrollView;
And I use it the code:
import React, { useCallback, useEffect, useRef, useState } from "react";
import { Button, Platform, Switch, Text, View, TextInput, StyleSheet } from "react-native";
export default function AwareScrollView() {
const [_, setText] = useState("");
return (
<View style={styles.main}>
<KeyboardAwareScrollView>
<View style={styles.contentContainer}>
<TextInput
style={styles.contentText}
multiline
value={_}
onChangeText={(value) => setText(value)}
scrollEnabled={false}
/>
</View>
</KeyboardAwareScrollView>
</View>
);
}
export const styles = StyleSheet.create({
safeAreaView: {
flex: 1,
},
main: {
flex: 1,
marginBottom: 0,
},
contentContainer: {
padding: 15,
flexGrow: 1,
},
contentText: {
width: "100%",
backgroundColor: "#bcbcbc",
flex: 1,
fontSize: 16,
minHeight: 60,
textAlignVertical: "top",
},
});
Steps to reproduce
- Type a long message in multiline input (you can simply press Enter/move to the next line to speed up the process)
- When TextInput gets obscured by keyboard scroll till the bottom to make sure the bottom of TextInput is visible
- Start to type a long message (you can use predictive text to speed up the process)
- When text goes to a new line
ScrollViewsuddenly scrolls to top
Expected result is that ScrollView should remain its position.

Stacktrace or Logs
I don't have any logs, bug from what I debugged in XCode methods like `scrollToOffset`/`scrollToEnd`/`scrollViewShouldScrollToTop` are not getting called.

Research direction
Start by running the linked reproducer at example/src/screens/Examples/AwareScrollView/index.tsx on iOS with React Native 0.76.2, using the multiline TextInput inside ScrollView described in the issue. Inspect the ScrollView and TextInput behavior when the input grows while scrolled near the bottom. Done means the ScrollView remains at its current position when the TextInput reaches a new line.
