In the editor, long words on scrolls show up on the playing field if they don't fit on the scroll. I know, most words aren't that long, but I had a big hyphenated run-on. (Highway-Obstacle-Course-for-Amphibians)
There needs to be something to hyphenate a lengthy word.
A space after a hyphen should cause the remaining text to go onto the next line, but that doesn't seem to always be the case.
"
A very longlong- longlong-longlong-longlong- longlong-longword"
(spaces after 1st and 4th 'longlong-')
is displayed on two lines, despite having spaces after two hyphens. The long middle word confuses the wrapping code. A space after the 3rd 'longlong' fixes the scroll display.
It wouldn't hurt to automatically wrap at hyphens, since if the words don't fit you'd want to do that anyway.
It would be nice if the message text box were updated in real-time, as changed are made to the text.
And finally, the text in the actual edit box sometimes seems to go over the edge of the edit area. I'm having trouble reproducing exact steps though. At first, the above scroll text was doing this, but after some editing (even though the text remains exactly the same) the problem seemed to have gone away.
