Brent, if it is really a 'limitation' for you, you can get the behaviour you want by
putting the following in the card script

on keydown
  put the width of field myField into myWidth
  put the formattedwidth of field myField into newWidth
  if newWidth > myWidth then
    put the number of characters of myField into charNum
    put return before character charNum of field 1
    select after field 1
  end if
pass keyDown
end keydown

if you have more than one field you will have to modify accordingly
