Description Michael Herger 2008-06-09 08:52:53 UTC

When entering a long text string on Boom, the display won't display all entered text, but cut off after a few characters, with the remaining characters being entered outside the display.

This is for SC not the firmware - it needs Input.Text to only show the text around the cursor so that the text being input can be longer than the screen.

I could have sworn there used to be a routine in nextChar that checked if the cursor went past the edge and would shift the chars over to fit.  It was certainly distant past enough that it may have been something in the text display handler instead.  Either way, I've not been able to find it.
