Bug: editor is displaying as blank rectangle on Samsung devices running 8.0.0

[JT9193]

I can't replicate this myself, however, I have multiple users reporting that they're seeing white rectangles instead of the text. On the devices that I own (LG and Motorola) and all of the emulators I've tried, I'm not seeing this problem. I haven't heard this issue from anyone else except people that have a Samsung device with Oreo.

I attached an image of what one of our users saw and the other is what it looks like on any other kind of device.

In the code, I just have a RecyclerView and inside of the ViewHolder, I'm setting the rich text editor.

view.rich_text.setEditorHeight(20)
view.rich_text.setEditorFontSize(14)
view.rich_text.setPadding(0, 10, 10, 10)
view.rich_text.setEditorFontColor(Color.WHITE)
view.rich_text.html = content
view.rich_text.setInputEnabled(false)

Any ideas?

I have the same issue where it just randomly zones out, doesn't display the hint either, formatting and image insertion doesn't work at all.

I have same issue. Sometimes content are blank and sometimes not. I tried a Handler to make sure it's threadsafe but still sometimes html content remains blank ( while I set it )

I fixed the issue by setting the background color: mEditor.setBackgroundColor(getResources().getColor(R.color.background_4));

where mEditor is the editor, that way I always make sure that this doesn't happen. Not sure the root case but that's the solution.
