Looks like the problem only occurs on Windows, all works OK on OSX. Yes, a scrollbar would be nice. Also had a thought that an htmlTooltip and maybe an rtfTooltip property would be nice. Then again, that's probably taking tooltips beyond what they're intended for. I guess it wouldn't be too difficult to come up with a stack that mimiced a tooltip but provided more flexible display characteristics.
