This issue behaves as intended based on the following:

It’s expected that contentSize matches the size of the view when scrolling is off.

If you want to find out how tall the text is at the current width, you can use e.g.

[textView sizeThatFits:CGSizeMake(textView.bounds.width, FLT_MAX)];

Please update your bug report to let us know if this is still an issue for you.
