[Native] TextInput flex/height issue

See original GitHub issue

Current behaviour

The default TextInput component height is stretched to occupy the space it is inside of.

Expected behaviour

The TextInput height is set to the default calculated height

How to reproduce?

Import the TextInput component from RNP. The component is unclickable and occupies full height. By commenting theflexGrow property in the styles.input style inside the RNP TextInput component, the issue is fixed.

What have you tried so far?

I tried overriding flexGrow with props but that particular internal component does not accept any styling from props. At the moment, we’re using patch-package to fix the issue.

Ok as a temporary fix sure, looking forward to that confirmation, and that PR as well!

Is this a good pattern though?

I think it’s ok, until I investigate the component behaviour and confirm whether we can remove mentioned flexGrow: 1. Also once that PR https://github.com/callstack/react-native-paper/pull/3509 is merged, you will be able to override flexGrow.
