UITextField text disappears on every other keystroke

Question

Here is a video of the phenomena: http://youtu.be/c0TP8YVF9TE

As the video shows, the value in exampleTextView.text is not lost. Its just hidden every other keystroke.

Solutions tried: I do not set the exampleTextView.text value to something during the program, except after the return key is pressed (and commenting that line out changes nothing).

I have set:

self.exampleTextView.clearsOnBeginEditing=NO;
self.exampleTextView.clearsContextBeforeDrawing=NO;
self.exampleTextView.clearsOnInsertion=NO;

Edit: Here is my code: https://gist.github.com/andrewschreiber/6970283

Answer 1

I had almost the same problem. Sometimes the text was disappearing.

I solved it after changing the position of the UITextField in the view hierarchy in the xib file.

Answer 2

I was facing the same problem. My solution was to remove [_textField becomeFirstResponder] from the - (void)viewWillAppear:(BOOL)animated method. This bug only occurs if the viewcontroller was presented modally.

Answer 3

Moving the UITextField's becomeFirstResponder from viewWillAppear to viewWillLayoutSubviews fixed this for my case. I also made sure to add resignFirstResponder on the UITextField to the actions that were dismissing the view (which was presented modally).
