--- Comment #3 from [email protected] --- Scenario: Writer form with a text box.The user specifies in the text box properties that it should be no longer than 300 characters. Writer perfectly controls the number of characters the user enters, even counting carriage returns. The problem I want to point out is in cases where the user enters carriage returns and the text does not fit in the height provided for the text box. Writer will allow the user to enter as many lines as they want, even if this means that they will not be seen (if they exceed the height of the box, as I mentioned). But the problem gets worse when, for example, the user EXPORTS to PDF to submit the document. In the Writer document the recipient of the document can see all the text by scrolling down with the course keys (or with the vertical scroll bar if it has been activated in the text box). However, if the user wants to send the document already filled in to the recipient and exports the form to PDF/A , activating this option and deactivating the option "Create PDF form", the recipient will not be able to see the text that exceeds the height of the text box, as he/she cannot scroll down it, and this is a very serious problem: The recipient of the document will not be able to see all the content, even if the vertical scroll bar is activated in the Writer form. Moreover, even if the problem of the vertical scroll bar not appearing when exporting is corrected, if the recipient prints the document, the text that does not appear that exceeds the height of the text box will not be printed on the paper. The only solution I can think of is to enable an "autosize" option that makes the text box taller as the user types, or to not allow the user to type beyond the height of the text box.
