Nested View and Text vertical alignment issue.

[rayan1810]

Description

Nesting View inside Text adds lineHeight's marginBottom to View and when we add Text inside that View it doesn't gets aligned properly.

Steps To Reproduce

1. Setup a CRNA or Expo app.
2. Replace the code in App.js with -

import { StatusBar } from "expo-status-bar";
import React from "react";
import { StyleSheet, Text, View } from "react-native";

export default function App() {
  return (
    <View style={styles.container}>
      <Text style={styles.outsideText}>
        Outside Text{" "}
        <View style={styles.insideView}>
          <Text>Inside Text</Text>
        </View>
      </Text>
      <StatusBar style="auto" />
    </View>
  );
}

const styles = StyleSheet.create({
  container: {
    flex: 1,
    backgroundColor: "#fff",
    alignItems: "center",
    justifyContent: "center",
  },
  outsideText: {
    backgroundColor: "#cecece",
  },
  insideView: {
    backgroundColor: "#fcc9",
  },
});

3. Start your App on iOS or Android with yarn ios or yarn android.

Expected Results

The text should be in the same line aligned vertically. Like it looks when we run this example on the Web.

Hi! I'm experimenting the same issue with the 0.65.1 RN version.

@brian-reed-software In which react native version it has been released?

Cheers,

@fxhrgco Did you find any solution for this. I'm also experiencing the exact same problem.

[fxhrgco]

Hey @Syphonjr , I ended up using flex container with direction row and align-items center. But sadly it's still happening.

[fxhrgco]

I do not know it it has been solved in the last versions though. I still have the 0.65.1. Does anybody know?

[yannickpschroeder]

why is this still not fixed :c this is a huge issue for people who want to make a markup lib that has mentions support

[SupertigerDev]

I kind of found a solution. Just use transform: [{translate: 10}] on the element you want to align. change that 10 to whatever

@SupertigerDev this still introduces some extra spacing on top which is evident in multiline text :(

[SupertigerDev]

Yea its not perfect. sucks how this issue is still not fixed.

[SupertigerDev]

aaagh can this be fixed already 😭 its so annoying
