I’ve got a couple of forms on a project that use text area fields to hold considerable text. The form properties call for vertical scrolls when needed, horizontal never.

The field itself wraps the text to the field width, but doesn’t have a scrollbar when necessary. If I go to the field properties and select Scrollable, I end up with a horizontal scrollbar and one line of text a mile long.

Any ideas on this behavior?

Thanks

This behaviour will be changed in next release and ‘scrollable’ property will be replaced with ‘scrollbars’ as seen on a portal.
