title: Android TextView Gravity BOTTOM unexpected behaviour
body: <p>My current Android project has a requirement to display multiple lines of text (maximum of 3) within a <code>TextView</code> and place the text at the bottom of the text view.</p>
  
  <p>My TextView is defined as follows:-</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;TextView
      android:id="@+id/my_title"
      android:layout_width="@dimen/image_width"
      android:layout_height="@dimen/image_height"
      android:layout_alignTop="@+id/other_title"
      android:layout_marginTop="@dimen/span_eight"
      android:layout_toEndOf="@+id/dot"
      android:maxLines="3"
      android:gravity="bottom"
      android:padding="2dp"
      android:textColor="@android:color/white"
      android:textSize="@dimen/text_twelve" /&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>When the text to display is 3 or less lines the text displays as you would expect.</p>
  
  <p>However when its longer than 3 lines the start of the text is truncated.</p>
  
  <p>For example</p>
  
  <p>"<code>Artificial cells, nanomedicine, and biotechnology</code>"</p>
  
  <p>is displayed as</p>
  
  <pre><code>"`cine, and biotechnology`"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>what I require is for it to display as</p>
  
  <pre><code>"`Artificial cells, nanom`"
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>How do I achieve the desired result?</p>
