Text is not centered when using lineHeight

[marbelsy]

simplified template is
<GridLayout rows="auto, auto, auto, auto" columns="*, 10, auto" @tap="tapEvent" class="checklist-list-template"> <HTMLLabel text="item.machinery.firstname" class="headline2" row="0" col="0" textWrap="true" verticalTextAlignment="center" verticalAlignment="middle" lineHeight="50" backgroundColor="blue"/> <HTMLLabel text="item.machinery.lastname" row="1" col="0" textWrap="true" lineHeight="50" verticalTextAlignment="center" backgroundColor="red"/> <HTMLLabel textWrap="true" row="2" lineHeight="50" verticalTextAlignment="center" backgroundColor="green"> <FormattedString lineHeight="50" verticalTextAlignment="center" backgroundColor="green"> <Span text="qrCode"/> <Span text="parsedDueDate.text" lineHeight="50" verticalTextAlignment="center" backgroundColor="green"/> </FormattedString> </HTMLLabel> <HTMLLabel text="arrow_forward_ios" class="mdi-outlined-18px" row="0" col="2" verticalAlignment="top" horizontalAlignment="right"/> </GridLayout>

the text is not centered (also tried setting vertical-align: middle; via css text-alignment: center; works though).

Additionally lineHeight is not applied when using FormattedString (hence why i tried setting it everywhere in there).
Currently cant build for android so I can only confirm this for iOS.

used packages
"@nativescript/android": "8.6.2",
"@nativescript/ios": "8.6.3",
"@nativescript-community/text": "1.5.47",

@mBaldasty ok so that wont be easy to fix and is not a bug fix "per" say. The issue comes from "verticalAlignment".
In this case you seem to be using lineHeight as you would use height. If you set height of 50 for example with lineHeight of 20 then verticalTextAlignment works.

Settings verticalTextAlignment within "line" and its lineheight is out of the scope right now.

@farfromrefug those were my "remnants" from trying to get it centered.
Even if I just use lineHeight 50 (and no verticalAlignment etc). the text is not centered
Or is this this not intended to work?

@mBaldasty as i mentioned setting text vertical alignment within a "line" is out of the scope right(not even sure if it is possible).
