Description

When using the numberOfLines Text prop on Android along with any horizontal margin, it causes the edges of the last line to be cut off horizontally as shown below:

Reproducible Demo

As shown in the snack below, the first Text component that has margin gets cut off on the last line, while the second one with no margin does not get cut off.

Note: Make sure you’re viewing the snack on Android

Hi, I am facing the same issue with react-native 0.57.8 version, is there any plan to fix this soon ? thanks in advance.

Same, for now I’m just truncating text based on an arbitrary character count which is far from ideal 😕
