Text in UITextField moves up after editing (center while editing)

Disabling ClipsToBounds for the TextField solved it for me.

So...

After many hours of trying many things - I have found the problem. In my case the problem is the font. I really don't know why, but the author of the font made the font weird (leading etc.), it has a blank space on the bottom. I don't know why, but when you are editing the text all of the text properties are ignored, but after you finish editing, they are applied.

So, if you have a similar problem, try changing the font to Arial or something similar.

For a full explanation, please consult these following links: link 1 and link 2. The solution recommended in these links can avoid you a lot of headaches and can even be applied to fix problem like text moving to the top when you start editing an UITextField (using System font or other particular fonts).

I had a similar issue that started happening on iOS 9. Basically I have a UITextField in a collection view cell. Sometimes when the user is done typing and editing ends, the text "bounces" up then down again into its correct position. Very strange and annoying glitch. Simply making this tweak fixed the issue on iOS 9 and proved to be safe on iOS 7 and 8:

 - (void)textFieldDidEndEditing:(UITextField *)textField
 {
    [textField layoutIfNeeded]; //Fixes iOS 9 text bounce glitch
    //...other stuff
}
