Ok I submitted a bug report a week ago and have heard nothing back. This bug with native text boxs not returning began phase with a text listener. This is a big problem for me because I need to reposition the text box on the began phase. (case 45529) sent a poke 3 days ago.
Thanks,
Scott
Scott,
Hi. I don’t know the details of what you put in your bug and I haven’t seen the test case you should have attached to the bug (if my demo works for you and you can’t find the issue w/ your test case, please post a link to it here), but this is working OK * for me in build 2016.2854:
Sample for you to download: http://github.com/roaminggamer/RG_FreeStuff/raw/master/AskEd/2016/04/native_textbox.zip

* - Only tested in simulator on Window. So, there is the possibility this won’t work on your test device. You can build my example and check it.
I am on mac using stable build 2830 and daily build 2855
Your demo does not work like it does on windows.

I have not tested it on IOS , but testing it on my mac is really important.
Roger that. I just confirmed that 2854 on the Mac Corona Simulator exhibits this issue too.
I then updated to 2861 and verified the issue still exists.
PS - Have you dug back and found a version where this worked? That could help the Engineers narrow down the cause of the issue. i.e. If they knew version X worked and version X+1 did not, they could look at what changed.
Just a thought. Anways, sorry this is holding you up. I had hoped it was a coding issue so you could move forward. 
Thanks for trying, @Ed
I will look for an old version while a wait for a Miracle (Rob or other corona staff)
Thanks,
Scott
Its been assigned to an engineer, but I don’t know where in his queue this is.
Rob
Glad its fixed.
