Multiline TextInput label is not visible in flat mode

[Michota]

Bug Report Template

Current Behaviour
When focusing into a TextInput, in when mode="flat", the label disappears. The label displays correctly when multiline=false, and this issue only occurs on iOS. This occured in the latest version (5.14.5), and also in 5.14.1.

Also, it seems like some letters like letter "i" in this "Uwagi" word is also cut by the same overlay.

Expected Behaviour
The label should be scaled down and visible as usual when the TextInput is focused, regardless of multiline setting or platform.

How to Reproduce

1. Use react-native-paper version 5.14.5.
2. Render a TextInput, with following settings on iOS.

• mode = "flat"
• mutliline = true
• label = "I am test field" <TextInput mode="flat" multiline={true} label="I am test field" />

5. Focus the TextInput.
6. Observe that the label disappears.
