Using a custom font in a UITextField causes it to shift slightly when accessed — is there a fix?

Question

I have a custom font in a UITextField, and I\'ve noticed that when it\'s accessed (when the keyboard appears), the text shifts down by a very small amount -- maybe

Answer 1

Works for all font sizes and does not cause de-alignment with clearButton.

Subclass UITextField and override these as follows:

- (CGRect)placeholderRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return CGRectOffset( bounds, 0, 4 );
}

- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return CGRectOffset( bounds, 0, 2);
}

- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds
{
    return CGRectOffset( bounds , 0 , 4 );
}
