In iOS 8, I have a vanilla UITextView
that clips the top of the 1st line when a lineHeightMultiple
is applied to it's NSMutableParagraphStyle
, see image below:
It appears as though lineHeightMultiple
affects the 1st line of text in addition to subsequent lines.
Setting clipsToBounds = false
on the UITextView
will at least enable the clipped part to show, but you can see from the image below that now the top part of the text is obviously above it's frame:
I can fix this by just setting the top constraint on the offending UITextView
to compensate for clipsToBounds = false
but that feels like a hack to me.
I have also tried using a WKWebView
for the offending text, and just setting the css line-height
property, and that works just fine. There must simply be something I am missing when it comes to UITextView though.
Additionally, setting lineSpacing
on the paragraph style to less than 0 has no affect, per the docs:
The distance in points between the bottom of one line fragment and the top of the next. **This value is always nonnegative.** This value is included in the line fragment heights in the layout manager.
I have also tried setting the contentInset
of the UITextView
as well as using a system font, both had not affect.
My sample code for this setup follows:
let text = "THIS IS A MULTILINE RUN OF TEXT" let font = UIFont(name: "MyFontName", size: 31.0)! // let font = UIFont.systemFontOfSize(31.0) let paragraph = NSMutableParagraphStyle() paragraph.lineHeightMultiple = 0.75 paragraph.alignment = NSTextAlignment.Center let attributes = [ NSParagraphStyleAttributeName: paragraph, NSFontAttributeName: font ] titleView.attributedText = NSAttributedString(string: text, attributes: attributes) // titleView.contentInset = UIEdgeInsets(top: 50.0, left: 0.0, bottom: 0.0, right: 0.0) titleView.clipsToBounds = false
Has anyone encountered this and overcome or is the top constraint hack the only way to go?
