UITextView scrolling enabled = invisible text?

Question

I have a view in my storyboard with some items, 1 of which is a UITextView. Whenever I enable scrolling (either by inspector or via code), the UITextView disappears/becomes invisible/whatever. Is there a way to make this not happen?

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

The height of UITextView is probably not set. When scrolling is disabled, the UITextView's size is calculated based on it's content (because the content has to fit, because if it doesn't, user can't scroll to see it). On the other hand, when the scrolling is enabled, the system presumes, that even if the content doesn't fit, user can scoll down to see it all. And since the UITextView height is not set by you, and neither it is set "by the content", the UITextView height is 0.
