I think that's honestly something that's a part of default React Native behavior.

All the tcomb textbox component does is wrap a TextInput from React Native, see: https://github.com/gcanti/tcomb-form-native/blob/655a9b6da4a929f0cb4ef05a71a7a363a0d82c89/lib/templates/bootstrap/textbox.js#L66

I've tested vanilla ReactNative text inputs, and it works properly. I've tested tcomb-form native test project, and it fails. See repro.

When you say "I think that's honestly something that's a part of default React Native behavior." do you have some facts to back that up?

@btoueg tested on RN 0.57 and is working properly. Try with that version and recent tcomb-form-native versions.
