It doesn’t matter what build I use, the latest daily or the last stable – on android when the keyboard is called up and typed in on my Droid, I get a vertical red line on the left and right edges of the field and a horizontal red line across the entire length of the field about 1/4 way up from the bottom. When text is typed, I can see a little bit of either the top or bottom of it, but nothing legible.

Nyah! Sorry - I saw this, went to ask someone about it and apparently didn’t add the link to my list of ones to check back on.
When you remove the save/load code are you still getting the problem, or no? [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22051 reply_id: 88811[/import]
I know, I’m sorry about that - I keep a little list of threads to follow up on and am usually so careful but then as this was marked as “read” and not on my list I overlooked it. Totally my bad.
This does sound like a bug; what would be really useful for us is if you could submit a bug report (screenshot could be sent with that) and include a basic sample we can run showing the issue.
Would you be able to do that, please?

PS - If this ever happens again (I hope it wont) where you are posting and you aren’t getting answers in a timely manner, could you please tweet at me? @peachpellen - if you let me know the thread URL will get right on it [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22051 reply_id: 88836[/import]
No worries; hopefully you will hear back from one of us soon [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22051 reply_id: 88992[/import]
Unfortunately some bugs do take a little longer to fix than others; I will try to get some more info on this in our next meeting. [import]uid: 52491 topic_id: 22051 reply_id: 89786[/import]
I understand what you are saying and I assure you that when people submit thorough reports, images, code, videos, etc. that is really appreciated.
The problem is not all bugs can be viewed that quickly - others are viewed but aren’t the highest priority (showstoppers get looked at first) and so you don’t hear back as quickly on them.
Please put this down to us being slower with some bugs than others and know that when we can get into this bug all your effort in compiling a nice report for us will really be a big help and certainly not unappreciated in the least.
TL;DR - Sometimes we’re a bit slow but we aren’t ignoring you and ALL reports are appreciated even if we take longer at times to acknowledge them than we could. (Bug stuff can be like this.)

Did this ever get fixed? I’m having a similar problem where the text in an android native text field doesn’t show up all the way. You only see the bottom third of the letters.
Also dunno why the replies in this thread are x’d out. Did the guy leave the forum or something? [import]uid: 8776 topic_id: 22051 reply_id: 104074[/import]
Hey Havlen,
The user decided to go back and edit a lot of his posts (in this thread and others) to be x’d out, though I have no idea why. It is unfortunate as it sucks for others who want to read the thread and get info.
This thread is about a red line on screen; if your issue is different can you please file a bug report with a project we can run attached using the bug report link in the top right corner, please?
Thanks,

I had a problem similar to havlen yesterday when porting code from iOS, turned out I just needed to make the textbox taller in Android, seems like around 80px is the right height for a single line with all the padding that gets added. [import]uid: 10084 topic_id: 22051 reply_id: 104202[/import]
I fixed it a similar way. I didn’t put the height at 80px. I put it at 30 pixels and lowered the font size to 10. That did the trick. I just didn’t have room to make the text field huge since the app was already tested and released on iOS and I didn’t want to make major changes.
I would think it would be easy to test. Just create a native.newTextField with 25 pixel height and default font size. It’ll work fine on iOS but the text won’t display properly on Android.
Though this is probably specific to certain versions of Android and/or certain phones. I was using a Droid Incredible with whatever version of Android came with it. [import]uid: 8776 topic_id: 22051 reply_id: 104213[/import]
