Xavier,
Thank you, again, for the suggestion that tabs might be causing the strange 
display problems in large fields. I changed the delimiter from tab to "|" and 
the display problems disappeared.
The original reason for the tabs was to make the data more transportable - 
especially to spreadsheets. But it is easy to convert it:

replace "|" with tab in field "Datafield"

Or, if one wants to see the data more easily, use " | " - with a space before 
and after the bar, then

replace " | " with tab in field "Datafield"
Good advice.
