Canvas Limited to 32767

[Ralph DiMola]

Desktop and mobile. It's a scrolling group with many sub-groups each with 1
or more fields. Sometimes the height of the main group > 32767.

It's the result of a proximity search and in dense areas users are getting
hosed by this limit. Customer is screaming (but don't they always).

Is this for the weird recommended mobile workaround of putting a text field
into a group just to have it scroll, or something else?
