While the code change looks acceptable, I would like to point your attention to 
the difference in the behavior relative to the 'prompt' text.

When the prompt text length exceeds the width of the text field, it looks like 
the prompt text is right-aligned, and the end of the prompt text is visible 
(the prompt text is "<prompt>":

However, setting a long text results in the beginning of the said text showing 
(the text string is 
`"<beg-01234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789-end>"`):

What I was expecting is the same behavior as the prompt text, i.e.:
