in #14856 issue is happened on version 0.46, but that issue is closed.

Steps to Reproduce

Set a part Props of “TextInput” as follows.

multiline={true}
editable={false}

Set more lines text contents in this “TextInput” while For example, if this “TextInput” can display up to max 5 lines in one times, Set 6 or more lines text in it.

Expected Behavior

I think that contents of contents should be able to be displayed by scrolling, regardless of whether it can be input to “TextInput” or not.

Actual Behavior

At present, the current code is working perfectly on iOS. In Android, the text is shown but if the text is too large it is impossible to scroll inside the textInput.

I tried adding some others props to the textInput in order to make sure the scroll was activated but nothing did the trick :

          autogrow
          multiline
          scrollEnabled
          editable={false}

As soon as I remove the editable the scroll works normally.

Thanks 👍

A solution is to change the warper style depending on what you want to do. For me it was only to show a long text that was never gonna be editable so I changed it to :

        <ScrollView contentContainerStyle={{ flexGrow: 1, padding: 8 }}>
          <Text style={{ color: Colors.black }}>{text}</Text>
        </ScrollView>
