Character length limit in fields - Part Duex!
Rev 2.6.1 / Mac OS X Greetings, Recently I asked about the text width limit in characters of a field. It seems that 65,536 characters is the limit, but there are definitely some issues with stuffing that much on one line of a field. I am using Lucida Grande Typewriter as the font at size 12 * Field set to no wrap, disabled and focusing not allowed; the characters do not show up if you toss in over 32,000 characters. If I keep at 32,000 characters, they are visible in the field. * Field set to no wrap and has scroll bars; Single line has only 28,750 characters, characters are showing, but scrolling stops at about 665 characters. But if break the line at 665, then the scrolling is allowed to go to about 995, break that second line down with a return and the scrolling is allowed to go even further. I'm trying to make a simple text editor that uses monospaced only fonts, with a character grid/guide so I know at what character position I am at when typing text. Screenshot of the scroll and length issue here: http://www.paraboliclogic.com/fieldproblem.jpg Does anyone have any insight into this issue?

I suspect that the pixel width limit is much less than it was or I misunderstood what the pixel limit was. And/or there may be a separate limit on the scroll. I suspect there are arithmetic errors from overflows. I tried 12 point courier. That is 7 points wide so I thought I should be able to put 4570 characters on the line (assuming 32000 pixel limit). Boy did that go goofy. The line was cut off and the scroll went way beyond the end of the line. I was only able to put in about 3700 characters in the first line and scroll right. The formatted width was messed up, so you might want to go to much less. Gotta go.

I have never had the need for a line of text that's 32,000 or 65,000 or whatever, so maybe setting up my own code to limit lines to say 1024 or 2048 should be fine for me.

I'm seeing something fishy with the hscroll so that it doesn't scroll enough to the right regardless of the line length. It doesn't depend on the char size, so it is something other than the pixel limit.
