Large Text Being Cut Off in UITextView That is Inside UIScrollView

Solution 1:

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.

Solution 2:

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];
