Hi if anyone has any wisdom to share on the text input I would be forever grateful. I need a multiline text input but no matter which return key type I use in the advanced settings when the return key is used the cursor skips to the next line pushing the text out of sight. I have tried using a separate done button with the click event dismiss keyboard but for this to work nicely the text input keyboard should not have a return key. The “none” option under return key settings doesn’t seem to work at all just gives the default return key.  
thanks in advance

Are you using the `multiline` or `Number of Lines` properties in your TextInput too?

Hi, yes the text input needs to be able to accommodate up to 3 lines of text so multiline is true.  
Thanks
