No matter which settings I try to change, resignFirstResponder always forces the text to scroll to the top of a UITextView

I would like the keyboard to disappear but the content offset to remain the same.

Any solutions would be greatly appreciated.

This is caused by a UIScrollView bug in iOS 8. Hopefully in iOS 9 they fix it. I only assume that its a bug because resignFirstResponder didn't have this behavior in iOS 7. Maybe its a feature.

The only way I found to prevent resignFirstResponder and setText from resetting the contentOffset was the following:

Swift:

textView.layoutManager.allowsNonContiguousLayout = false

Objective C

textView.layoutManager.allowsNonContiguousLayout = NO;

Another reason I think its a bug is because the documentation says that it is set to NO by default, but when you print out the variable without setting it, its true.

in viewDidLoad

[[NSNotificationCenter defaultCenter] addObserver:self selector:@selector(keyboardWillHide:) name:UIKeyboardWillHideNotification object:nil];

add this function 

 - (void)keyboardWillHide:(NSNotification *)notification
{
NSDictionary *info = [notification userInfo];
NSTimeInterval animationDuration = [[info objectForKey:UIKeyboardAnimationDurationUserInfoKey] doubleValue];

[UIView animateWithDuration:animationDuration animations:^{
[_textView scrollRangeToVisible:NSMakeRange([_textView.text length], 0)];
}];
}

    I did try this. What happened for me is it would jump to the top, then animate down. Not exactly the solution I was looking for. It didnt keep the contentOffset the same, the content offset still gets reset to (0,0), then it scrolls down to the bottom of the page. – Nate4436271 Aug 11 '15 at 17:25
