    Description

      The current implementation for setting the appearance of content that is added to a multiline text box is incorrect in a number of ways:

      • Doesn't position the start of the text in the correct location
      • Incorrectly uses font size '0' instead of auto-sizing the font
      • Doesn't break up very long lines
      • If the font size is very large, then the next line is started too close to the previous line.
