UITextView text space go smaller during rezise - ios

Question

I'd like to enable the user to resize an UITextView. I display a button in the bottom rigth corner of the UITextView such as when the user moves it, the UITextView follow it and is resized.
This is works fine but the text space has a strange behaviour. The text space seems to get smaller and smaller during the resize. So if I resize a lot, go to a big frame and then to a small frame, the text space has become smaller than the frame.
- (id) init{//My subclass of UITextView
self = [super init];
if(self){
//Resize button
//Init ResizeButton
self.resizeButton = [[UIButton alloc]init];
//Image
[self.resizeButton setImageForAllState:[UIImage imageNamed:#"Isosceles-right-triangle.png"]];
//Target
[self.resizeButton addTarget:self action:#selector(wasDragged:withEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDragInside];
[self.resizeButton addTarget:self action:#selector(wasDragged:withEvent:) forControlEvents:UIControlEventTouchDragOutside];
//Add to view
[self addSubview:resizeButton];
//Self
//text font
[self setFont:[UIFont fontWithName:#"papyrus" size:17]];
}
return self;
}
- (void)wasDragged:(UIButton *)button withEvent:(UIEvent *)event
{
// NSLog(#"wasDragged");// get the touch
UITouch *touch = [[event touchesForView:button] anyObject];
// get delta
CGPoint previousLocation = [touch previousLocationInView:button];
CGPoint location = [touch locationInView:button];
CGFloat delta_x = location.x - previousLocation.x;
CGFloat delta_y = location.y - previousLocation.y;
// move button
button.center = CGPointMake(button.center.x + delta_x,
button.center.y + delta_y);
self.frame = CGRectMake(self.frame.origin.x, self.frame.origin.y, self.frame.size.width+ delta_x, self.frame.size.height+ delta_y);
}
The view is also draggable
-(void)touchesMoved:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
// Calculate offset
CGPoint pt = [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self];
float dx = pt.x - startLocation.x;
float dy = pt.y - startLocation.y;
CGPoint newcenter = CGPointMake(self.center.x + dx, self.center.y + dy);
// Set new location
self.center = newcenter;
}
-(void) touchesBegan:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
// Calculate and store offset, and pop view into front if needed
CGPoint pt = [[touches anyObject] locationInView:self];
startLocation = pt;
}
-(void) touchesEnded:(NSSet *)touches withEvent:(UIEvent *)event {
}
EDIT
Before resizing
Resizing
Back to original size

Well, I have this problem too. The soliution is to subclass UITextView and override setFrame: method. Before setting your wanted frame, set CGRectZero frame for textView. It will fix your problem. Code bellow.
- (void)setFrame:(CGRect)frame
{
[super setFrame:CGRectZero];
[super setFrame:frame];
}

Seems like you could do one of two things:
First: turn off the 'Adjust to fit' of the control
textfield.adjustsFontSizeToFitWidth = NO;
Second: Hardcode a font size into the code
textfield.font = [UIFont fontWithName:#"desired font name" size:10];
