解决方案:实际有效且适用于所有情况的解决方案:

应该使用offsetBy而不是insetBy。 也应该调用超函数来获取原始的Rect。 Bounds故障。你需要抵消原来的X, Y，边界有X, Y为零。 原始的x, y可以是非零，例如当设置UITextField的leftView时。

示例:

override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return super.textRect(forBounds: bounds).offsetBy(dx: 0.0, dy: 4)
}


override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
    return super.editingRect(forBounds: bounds).offsetBy(dx: 0.0, dy: 4)
}

 class TextField: UITextField {

    let inset: CGFloat = 8

    // placeholder position
    override func textRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRect(forBounds bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return bounds.insetBy(dx: inset, dy: inset)
    }
}

我想我可以提供一个快速解决方案

import UIKit

class TextField: UITextField {
    let inset: CGFloat = 10

    // placeholder position
    override func textRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , inset , inset)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds , inset , inset)
    }

    override func placeholderRectForBounds(bounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return CGRectInset(bounds, inset, inset) 
    }
}

斯威夫特 3+

import UIKit

class TextField: UITextField {
    let inset: CGFloat = 10

    // placeholder position
    override func textRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset , dy: self.inset)
    }

    // text position
    override func editingRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset , dy: self.inset)
    }

    override func placeholderRect(forBounds: CGRect) -> CGRect {
        return forBounds.insetBy(dx: self.inset, dy: self.inset)
    }
}

斯威夫特

    // adjust place holder text
    let paddingView = UIView(frame: CGRectMake(0, 0, 10, usernameOrEmailField.frame.height))
    usernameOrEmailField.leftView = paddingView
    usernameOrEmailField.leftViewMode = UITextFieldViewMode.Always

重写-textRectForBounds:只会改变占位符文本的插入。要改变可编辑文本的插入，你还需要重写-editingRectForBounds:

// placeholder position
- (CGRect)textRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
     return CGRectInset(bounds, 10, 10);
}

// text position
- (CGRect)editingRectForBounds:(CGRect)bounds {
     return CGRectInset(bounds, 10, 10);
}

我发现了罗伯托发布的选项。buratti是最快的解决方案，这里是Swift:

let leftView = UIView(frame: CGRect(x: 0, y: 0, width: 10, height: textField.frame.size.height))
leftView.backgroundColor = textField.backgroundColor
textField.leftView = leftView
textField.leftViewMode = UITextField.ViewMode.always
