Just change from 0.41.2 to 0.42.0 using the default AutoExpandingTextInput Example from the TextInput Docs to see it happening

Additional Information

• React Native version: 0.42.0
• Platform: Android ( Possibly iOS havent tested )

I can reproduce it on Android. But not on iOS.

<TextInput multiline style={{ height: 100, backgroundColor: '#ccc' }} />

It blurs on Sony's Swift Keyboard,
but it's working fine when I changed it to Google's GBoard

It blurs on Samsung Galaxy S6 keyboard.
Like @hermantotang said, it works fine with Google's GBoard or the default keyboard in the Android emulator.

Yeah it was happening to me on a Samsung s6

Google English keyboard works as in that Enter will give a new line. Google Japanese keyboard does not work. A chinese input method I have also does not work.

Android.

Had the same problem with SwiftKey Keyboard. Following fixed it for me:

#12923 didn't fix our case. We tried to replace the entire ReactAndroid folder, but in vain.
We had to roll back to 0.41.2
Hope this is fixed in 0.43

@goodhyun have you built ReactNative from source?

+1 on this, we need a fix for this for our app because it affects Samsung.

I have the same issue while using Expo. The Expo SDK 15 brought RN 0.42 and broke my input field.
See #13159.

Sorry @studio3w I didn't know that I had to rebuild RN again from source.
Even 0.43.1 didn't solve this issue, and I rebuilt 0.43.1 with #12923 fix and it just worked like a charm.

This is a really annoying issue though.
