iOS7 UITextView contentsize.height alternative

• iOS7 UITextView contentsize.height alternative
• IOS7 get UITextView contentSize before viewDidAppear method is called?

On iOS7 there is a bug where the UITextView.contentsize.height property is not calculated correctly. The function below can be used instead to calculate the on-screen size of the String directly.

-(CGSize)sizeOfText:(NSString *)textToMesure widthOfTextView:(CGFloat)width withFont:(UIFont*)font
{
    CGSize size = [textToMesure sizeWithFont:font constrainedToSize:CGSizeMake(width, FLT_MAX) lineBreakMode:NSLineBreakByWordWrapping];
    return size;
}
