Textbox problems

[gkbdave]

I can't believe I can't get this simple task to work.

I am trying to copy text into a text box that was created with the text tool. I have it set to dynamic text, and font and color, multiline and selectable.

Everytime I put the text into the box the box becomes large.
I want to be able to scroll the text.


I have done this before and no problems but now its not working..


what is the problem

[dmacker]

Try double-clicking (with the Shift key down) on the text box handle -- the text box handle should change from an open white square to a filled black square. This should set the text box to a fixed size and you should be able to add a scrollbar or otherwise scroll through the multiline text.

Hope this helps.

why does that work???


FOr some reason it works sometimes and then others it doesn't

is there some weird bug in the program??

thanks for helping me keep my sanity..
