Description
When using a TextInput with multiline={true}, fixed height, and textAlignVertical="top", the text positioning is inconsistent depending on navigation path. When a user first opens the app and navigates to a screen containing long text that overflows the TextInput, the text appears "squashed" towards the top with content cut off under the border. However, if the user navigates back to the home screen, opens a note with shorter content first, then returns to the long note, the text positioning displays correctly.
This appears to be a layout initialization timing issue where the TextInput doesn't properly calculate its content positioning on first render when dealing with overflow content.
Steps to reproduce
- Clone the reproduction repository:
git clone https://github.com/Jakes-Git-Hub/Multi-Line-Test.git - Install dependencies with
npm install - Start the app with
npx expo start - Open the app and immediately tap on either "Long Note Example" or "Another Overflow Note"
- Observe that the text appears squashed towards the top with content cut off under the border
- Navigate back to the home screen using the back button
- Tap on the "Short" note (single word content)
- Navigate back and tap on one of the long notes again
- Observe that the text now displays correctly with proper positioning
Also if i go into another long note after initially opening a long note, the text positioning adjusts to a middle ground between squashed and what would be the text position if sequence was long note -> short note -> LN.

Línea de trabajo
Comienza ejecutando el reproductor obligatorio de Multi-Line-Test con React Native 0.81.5 y compara la ruta inicial de notas largas con la ruta de navegación de notas cortas en iOS. Investiga el comportamiento de TextInput multilínea con altura fija, contenido desbordado y textAlignVertical="top". Se considera completado cuando las notas largas tienen una posición del texto consistente en su primera renderización y después de la navegación, sin que el contenido quede cortado bajo el borde.
