Original status: 1-Dispatched; Suggested Status: NEW Description: When the text of a TextField is modified directly in the Visual Designer, the viewable size of the edited text is limited while it should be extended to the size of the TextField.
I don't think that is a good suggestion. The runtime doesn't work that way. You need to set the size of the text field if you want to have it larger. The component has a default size, which is tried to be shown by the designer, and user should be aware of that. If it needs larger one, then it needs to be set explicitly. If your suggestion is in place, user who wishes to keep the default size would have a problem to keep it.
