I’m having issues with creating a dynamic scrolling text box. The issue is that when I insert my text into the text box most of it disappears off the edge of the text box. Is there a setting or something that I have missed?

What cause that and what is the fix for it?

Is your text box set to multiline?

:trout: I feel so dumb now. I thought I had it checked. Infact I know I did. But it somehow got unchecked. There is a ghost in my PC I tell ya and he dosen’t like me unless I ask stupid question here.

Once again Lunatic has brought forth the light of knowledge to my increasingly diminishing grey matter. 🙂

Thanks Lunatic 🙂 AGAIN!
