text field hides text if too small for text entered

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. copy a text field [this is to copy formatting]
2. paste
3. replace the text with a longer text

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

The whole text I entered vs what I saw: truncated text
(it sometimes runs over to the next line after editing)

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

0.0.6 - OS X 10.6.8

Please provide any additional information below.

This can make for a bad experience if the user is entering some kind of 
not-very-human-friendly string, like a national insurance number.  It's not 
obvious that the text has been truncated

Also, I'm aware that the text isn't actually truncated.  It's just hidden, and 
you have to widen the box to see the rest of it.  Still, can be a bit scary
