I.e. if you have wrapped text in a field it will keep the wraps when transferring to another field although the destination field is large enough to hold the text unwrapped. Of course formattedText is on raw text and does not include styling.

Whereas formattedText inserts returns at the wrapping formattedStyledText inserts vertical tabs = ASCII 11.

Thus the number of lines returns the same value when using formattedStyledText whereas formattedText increases the number of lines if there is any wrapping.
