My UITextView just allows to add text at the end

I‘m using a UITextView to allow users to post messages in AR in my app virtual tags - you may check by yourself, it is free - but it just allows to append text at end with no possibility of moving the cursor or do everything else. I opened a new project adding a UITextView and everything worked fine. What could it be, and how to know more?

thanks, Fabrizio

This sounds like you tried to prepare a sample app to demonstrate the problem and then didn't hit the problem. Is that the case?

Can you compare the code that is running into trouble with your sample app?

That might tell you either what you need to correct in your code or else how to refine your sample app to demonstrate the issue.

You might also find it helpful to review the UITextView and UITextInput headers. There are a lot of configuration knobs for UITextView!

Finally, if you do manage to isolate the issue in a sample app and believe it's a bug in UITextView, don't forget to file a feedback report.

It'd be a lot easier to help you if you posted the relevant code than trying to analyze the situation by downloading and using your app.

My app Virtual Tags is available for free on the App Store, so you may check by yourself. Actually I am not aware on any configuration that would constrain the editing of text in that way, imagine having done it by error! As said I copied the text into another test app and everything went seamlessly. Unfortunately I could not insert the same code into my App as it gave constraint errors. Also now I cannot make any more tests as the app went totally black, as you may check from another posting of mine.
