> Project: Pivot
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: wtk
> Reporter: Bill van Melle
> Priority: Minor
>
> TextInput accepts a single line of text, but it also displays as only a
> single line on the screen, with no provision for wrapping text instead of
> clumsily horizontally scrolling. TextArea happily wraps text, but it also
> accepts the Enter key to insert newlines into the content.
> I would like a control that wraps its text, but also only accepts a single
> line of input, i.e., it does not accept Enter to produce multiple lines, and
> in fact allows Enter to be handled by its container (e.g., a Sheet). Whether
> this means a wrapText attribute on a TextInput, or a multiLine or
> acceptsEnter attribute on a TextArea makes little difference to me. A quick
> glance at the TextAreaSkin suggests the latter would be straightforward.
