AW: AW: which field property to set for 'scrolling'?

[Eric Chatonet]

Hi Tiemo,

The behavior you want seems to be usual behavior: arrow keys allow  
navigating in the text and move the text if needed when the text is  
larger than the field.
Create a new stack, create a new usual field and just set its  
dontWrap to true.
Then test the behavior in this new stack: if it works as expected,  
compare fields properties ;-)
