Hey ya’ll.  
The title of the thread pretty much is my question: Is there a max number of lines that can be displayed in a textfield?

I have a tf that is just cutting off text being pushed into it when it goes over a certain number of lines. Any idea’s on what’s happening and how to fix it?

Thanks
