Stephen Slaboda commented on DROOLS-703:
----------------------------------------

In 6.4.0.Final this is partially addressed with the self-lengthening text fields, but after some testing of that with sizeable text strings, there still seems to be some issues - 1. Using a lengthy string of just 'm' characters results in the text field not extending to the full required length.  2. Using all 'l' characters results in the text field extending more than double what is required to display the text.  Using text between these values of course results in a varied amount of extra space/non-displayed characters depending on the mixture.  Perhaps this has something to do with the fonts or the browser...now using Firefox 45.3.0 when I experienced this.

> Currently, if we want to assemble a string in a formula text field using various bound variables, the full text being constructed does not display all at once.  The size of the box forces you to scroll around or copy/paste to see all the text after you get to a few dozen characters.  We like to be somewhat verbose in our naming of variables to offer more clarity, so in some cases the text field may do this even when using a single variable name.  Perhaps there could be a way to wrap the text into a multi-line display so that it is easier to edit these fields?
