I have a textbox that I put outside the screen at a point to hide it but if I then reload the simulator it will crash. Seems to happen only when the whole textbox is out of the screen, if just a small part is there it dosent crash.
to test it:
local field1 = native.newTextBox( 0, 0, 300, 65)
field1.y = -300
