I just checked, and (LC 8 on a Mac) indeed fields fail beyond a certain width/character limit/???
This: on mouseUp repeat with i = 1 to 10000 put char -10 to -1 of ("aaaaaaaaaa" & i & " ") after x end repeat put x into fld 1 end mouseUp results in a field that scrolls right only until it displays about "aa294 aaaaaa295 aaaaaa296 aaaaaa2" So, something like 3,000 characters wide. Again, something that could be worked around, but basically whether it's a field or the DG, some sort of virtualized display seems necessary.
