By default Gmsh draws vectors at the barycenter of the elements.

What's the number (0-8) on its right used for? This option allows to draw any component(s) of the field as a scalar, a vector or a tensor. If you select "Force scalar" and select 0 for the first (and only relevant, for a scalar field) component, you will thus draw the first component (index 0, i.e. the "x" component) of your vector field as a scalar field. The scalar field will be displayed with the same range bounds as the vector field (computed from its norm); hence the "truncation" that you observe. Just set the "min" and "max" values of the range in Tools->View->General->Range mode->Custom. (You can click on the "Min" and "Max" button to automatically recompute the min/max for your particular choice of values to display.)
