   Same problem, but we don't use DefaultNewArchitectureEntryPoint.releaseLevel = ReleaseLevel.EXPERIMENTAL

   Which version of React Native are you using?

   @xrustics and you're getting this on Android 15 and 16 only? No issues on Android 14?

   We hit the same issue on Android 15+ only (RN 0.84.1, New Architecture/Fabric): multiline text rendered only the first line (both in custom components and plain Text), while iOS was fine.

   For us, the root cause was in ReactAndroid TextLayoutManager width calculation in the Android 15+ visual-bounds path.
   This temporary workaround fixed it:

   1) Patch TextLayoutManager.kt

   Replace:

   val lineWidth = unconstrainedLayout.getLineRight(i) - unconstrainedLayout.getLineLeft(i)
   ...
   when (widthYogaMeasureMode) {
     YogaMeasureMode.AT_MOST -> min(ceil(desiredVisualWidth).toInt(), floor(width).toInt())
     else -> ceil(desiredVisualWidth).toInt()
   }

   With:

   val lineWidth = unconstrainedLayout.getLineMax(i)
   ...
   when (widthYogaMeasureMode) {
     YogaMeasureMode.EXACTLY -> floor(width).toInt()
     YogaMeasureMode.AT_MOST -> min(ceil(desiredVisualWidth).toInt(), floor(width).toInt())
     else -> ceil(desiredVisualWidth).toInt()
   }

   2) Apply patch automatically after install

   We added a postinstall script:

   "postinstall": "node scripts/apply-react-native-text-layout-patch.mjs"

   3) Rebuild/publish patched react-android and include all ABIs

   cd android
   ./gradlew :react-native:packages:react-native:ReactAndroid:publishReleasePublicationToMavenTempLocalRepository \
     -PreactNativeArchitectures=armeabi-v7a,arm64-v8a,x86,x86_64

   4) Point app build to local Maven with patched artifacts

   In android/gradle.properties:

   reactNativeArchitectures=armeabi-v7a,arm64-v8a,x86,x86_64
   react.internal.mavenLocalRepo=/tmp/maven-local

   After this, multiline wrapping was restored globally for us (plain Text) and assembleDebug passed without ABI mismatch errors.

   Notes

   • /tmp/maven-local is temporary; if it is cleaned, republish artifacts.
   • This is a workaround until an upstream RN fix is available.

   I hope this helps someone 🙏

    Is the fix gonna be released into 0.85.1 ? I have the same issue the 2nd line is not rendered on Android, iOS is working fine

    I just realized I got my app using the Experimental Release Level, so I would get back to the Stable track

    EDIT:
    Going back to the Stable track did the job!
