Display Form shows Multiline Field with Horizontal Scroll sometimes

(0) ShareShare
ReportReport
Posted on by 49

I have a plain text multiline field titled "Comments." The value for this field have the following property settings: Overflow: Overflow.Hidden; AutoHeight: true; Wrap: true. Most of the time, when using the display form to display the comments, the height of that field adjusts to the length of the comments and all the text is viewable.

Other times, the text is displayed with a horizontal scroll, which makes it very difficult to view the entirety of the text.

Any suggestions for changes that I can make to the app to prevent this from happening? Or of any guidelines that I can suggest to the users to prevent them from formatting their comments in a way that makes this horizontal scroll appear?

    Hi @CLS720 ,

    Based on the issue that you mentioned, I have made a test on my side, and don't have the issue that you mentioned.

     

    Please consider take a try to disable/turn off the "Improved app rendering (final validation)" option within Advanced settings of App settings of your app, re-publish your app, check if the issue is solved.

     

    Also please consider take a try to un-lock the aspect ratio within your app as below:4.JPG

    then click "Apply" button, re-publish your app, check if the issue is solved.

     

    Best regards,

    @v-xida-msft thank you for your suggestions! I should be able to roll these changes out to the application next Wednesday during our maintenance window, so I'll have an update as to whether or not this fixed the problem in a couple of days.
