Thanks for the report. I was able to replicate this using latest versions. The reported behavior also occurs using TextField.

[ringoswy]

Thanks a lot

[jmagman]

@ringoswy @darshankawar does this reproduce on Android?

If not, guessing it's a SKParagraph issue?

It doesn't happen on Android

[justinmc]

@jmagman I thought Android and iOS are both using SKParagraph?

[justinmc]

@jason-simmons Any idea by looking at that video if this is an SKParagraph issue or not?

[jason-simmons]

Both Android and iOS are using SkParagraph.

If this is currently only happening on iOS, then it is more likely to be related to Impeller glyph positioning.

[jmagman]

@ringoswy @darshankawar does this reproduce with Impeller off?

$ flutter run --no-enable-impeller

It doesn't reproduce with Impeller off

[jonahwilliams]

Good news, can't repro this on master. Need to bisect to figure out when we fixed it.

[chinmaygarde]

I'm removing this from the blocker list.

[gaaclarke]

@jonahwilliams Do we need to bisect this still? It's been months. I think bisecting will only help us if we want to cherry-pick. Let me know and I can do it if that's what it takes to close this. I verified this is still fixed at main.

[jonahwilliams]

No we don't need to bisect, there won't be any more 3.24 cps

[gaaclarke]

Fixed then, closing it out.

[jonahwilliams]

👍🙏
