lineHeight style has no effect on multiline TextInput

[njdancer]

This appears to be the same issue reported in #14232.

When lineHeight is added to multiline TextInput's the height of the TextInput is initially effected however this disappears on first input at which point this appears to be ignored.

import * as React from 'react';
import { View, TextInput } from 'react-native';

export default class App extends React.Component {
  render() {
    return (
      <View>
        <TextInput
          multiline
          style={{
            margin: 30,
            lineHeight: 100,
            borderColor: 'black',
            borderWidth: 1,
          }}
        />
      </View>
    );
  }
}

React Native version:
expo SDK 33.0 => RN 0.59.8

Steps To Reproduce

1.Render TextInput with multiline=true and style={ lineHeight: <Number> }

Describe what you expected to happen:
lineHeight should be applied to TextInput contents effectively allowing space to be applied between lines of text.

This is happening to me as well on iOS with RN 0.59.2

Still exists in RN v0.61. I have tried fixing this on my fork, but to no avail. Is anyone else willing to discuss this issue?
