Large Text Being Cut Off in UITextView That is Inside UIScrollView

Question

I\'m having a serious problem that I just can\'t seem to fix and it\'s driving me insane for the last two days. I have searched far and wide and I can\'t find a solution, e

Answer 1

This happens all the way, from in Interface Builder too.

When text view selected, in Utilities Inspector uncheck the option Shows Vertical Indicator. The cropped text appears now.

Answer 2

This issue has existed since iOS 7 and is still present in iOS 12.

However, I wasn't able to keep the normal scrolling behaviour by setting scrollEnabled = NO before the resize, as @igz recommended. Instead I switched scrolling on and off after the resize

// Resize text view here

textView.scrollEnabled = NO;
textView.scrollEnabled = YES;

This forced the cut off text to render correctly.

Answer 3

Thanks everyone for your help. This is ultimately what ended up working for me in iOS7.

I had to disable auto layout for this particular xib.

Then did the following:

[textView setScrollEnabled:YES];
[textView setText:text];
[textView sizeToFit];
[textView setScrollEnabled:NO];

Answer 4

I had a similar issue, wherein long text was getting cut off after a resize of the text view. Turning off scrollingEnabled before the resize seemed to fix it. Sure seems like an IOS 7 bug.

Answer 5

This worked for me:

textView.scrollEnabled = NO;

//resize here

textView.scrollEnabled=YES;

Answer 6

We had the same problem, except the left half or right half of the UITextView was getting cut off. Happened on both iOS 7 and iOS 6, on a variety of phones. Calling:

myTextView.scrollEnabled = NO;

in viewWillAppear worked around the problem.
