Text overflowing in physical Android device

[yuriescl]

This code makes the text overflow the widget in physical Android devices:

import 'package:flutter/material.dart';
import 'package:flutter/services.dart';
import 'package:auto_size_text_field/auto_size_text_field.dart';

void main() {
  runApp(MyApp());
}

class MyApp extends StatelessWidget {
  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    return MaterialApp(
      title: 'Flutter Demo',
      theme: ThemeData(
        primarySwatch: Colors.blue,
      ),
      home: MyHomePage(title: 'Flutter Demo Home Page'),
    );
  }
}

class MyHomePage extends StatefulWidget {
  MyHomePage({Key key, this.title}) : super(key: key);

  final String title;

  @override
  _MyHomePageState createState() => _MyHomePageState();
}

class _MyHomePageState extends State<MyHomePage> {
  final TextEditingController _inputController = TextEditingController();

  @override
  Widget build(BuildContext context) {
    _inputController.text = 'test';
    return Scaffold(
        body: Container(
            alignment: Alignment.center,
            width: double.maxFinite,
            child: AutoSizeTextField(
              controller: _inputController,
              maxLines: 1,
              decoration: InputDecoration(
                border: InputBorder.none,
                contentPadding: EdgeInsets.all(0),
                hintText: '0',
              ),
              keyboardType: TextInputType.numberWithOptions(decimal: true),
              textAlignVertical: TextAlignVertical.center,
              style: TextStyle(color: Color(0xff1c278e), fontSize: 55),
              textAlign: TextAlign.left,
            )));
  }
}

The same code works in Android Emulator (tested on Pixel 4 XL API 28), there's no overflow there:

i have similar problem - the plugin doesn't account for cursor width and contentPadding paraps and so part of a content hidden ( overflow | runs out of the view bounady ) . . . 😥

value: 123

-- the space on the right is 10px cursor ( it will look the the same if padding is provided)

@yuriescl @MisaGu May I ask was the text configured to scale in the Android settings on the physical device? Thank you!

[yuriescl]

@lzhuor If you mean accessibility scale, it's disabled and the size is at the default (middle):

The system font settings are also in default:

I also get this issue running the code on a stock Huawei P30 lite with a flutter based app...

Hi @antb123 and @yuriescl may I ask did you manage to figure out the root cause? Could you please also try auto_size_text package and see if it works for displaying static texts?
