I don't think 2G is a reasonable value as a default -- this will for sure fill up memory in the default JVM configurations. But, for me, 65000 is way too small. So, I think somewhere around 1-2MB would be a more reasonable default.

Note that the same attribute exist even in TextArea, and even here I'd like to lower that default, but I know that with a lot of text the current value could makes sense ... suggestions ? What do you think ? I'd like to put even this small change in 2.0.3 (now, near, really) in a related jira issue, just to have it in release notes. Unless objections I'll commit at the beginning on next week. And last, what do you think if I'd add this attribute even in Label ? Tell me. Sandro
