Actually it is different than 6.2 where lines were truncated. In 6.3 the lines
is folding nicely and all 3 lines (or 4, don't have it in front of me) are
showing, but the bottom line is outside the textarea box. No problem to read
it, and I prefer that than truncating the information, it is just not looking
clean.
