Summary
This bug happens because
RCTUITextView
(which multiline TextInput uses) was overriding NSTextView'sbecomeFirstResponder
method and didn't call[super becomeFirstResponder]
.This seems to mess with AppKit's logic of drawing the cursor initially.
This is alluded to in the docs for
[NSTextView becomeFirstResponder]
:Simply switching to call
[super becomeFirstResponder]
led to a cryptic exception within AppKit. This was likely because in thereactFocus
(andreactFocusIfNeeded
) we were callingbecomeFirstResponder
directly.The docs for
[NSResponder becomeFirstResponder]
say:There necessary fixes are already part of 84c0863#diff-8a3ec110f2ee884d2ef078efddc4ebba9413c7e8cb90b6f5cebff19b2c0a1951 and hence not included in this diff
