Chat input box does not grow — second line is hidden while typing #715

Description

@islandbitcoin

Found in the in-app Flash Support chat (Nostr DM screen), v0.7.0, iPhone.

What happens

The message input stays at single-line height while you type. As soon as the text wraps, the second line is not visible — you keep typing blind. Screenshot shows the composer with the wrapped text cut off.

Expected

The input grows with the content (up to a sane max, ~4-5 lines, then scrolls internally) — standard TextInput multiline with height driven by onContentSizeChange, the way most RN chat composers do it.

Where to look

The chat screen composer under app/screens/chat/. Likely a fixed height (or missing multiline/content-size handling) on the composer TextInput style.

Notes

  • Reported live by Jabari 2026-08-30 while testing the support bot.
  • Same screen also surfaced a Pulse knowledge gap (wrong answer for US-bank funding) — that half is fixed separately in flash-support-infra#14; this issue is only the composer UI.
