Hi everyone,

LC newbie here (using LC 7.0.6). I have tried both a text entry field and a scrolling field and upon typing lots of text, the text doesn't want to wrap to the next line once the right edge of the field is reached. I tried playing with various object properties but can't get this work.

Surely, there is a way to do this?

Many thanks,
Jon

Hi Jon,
Make the field taller than 1 line and make sure Don't wrap is un-ticked.

Hi Simon,

I tried those and no luck.

Thanks,
Jon

Not sure what to tell you but I've attached a stack showing the wrap.

Hi Jon,

make sure that "autowrap" property for this field is set to true!

Hint:
Livecode will only wrap at SPACES!
No space, no wrapping!

Best
