A long shot ...
Try turning off the opaque property of the field. I've had some
problems with scrolling an opaque field before. However, the result
was usually a mess as opposed to no text appearing as you describe.
But it might be worth trying. If you need a colored background, you
could stick a graphic behind the field.
