Text entity display breaks if content overflows entity dimensions

[Zetaphor]

If the text content of a text entity is longer than the text entity the text just fails to render, instead of overflowing and clipping.

Example:

Add another character (content should be "aaaaaa"):

Exported test entity:

Not really a bug, but more an enhancement request. (Since this is the current behavior since day 0)

I agree, it always been a bit annoying.

[Zetaphor]

I understand it may have been historically broken, but I'd still call that broken and thus a bug. Semantics aside, it's a very jarring behavior.

I only discovered it through experimentation, initially I thought the text entity was just non-functional as I started by entering text that was too large for the dimensions.

[AleziaKurdis]

It's precisely what I meant by "a bit annoying." ;-)
it doesn't help new people.

[vegaslon]

The original solution for this was to use https://apidocs.overte.org/Entities.html#.textSize

[keeshii]

The other behavior that is annoying is auto-trim. If we set text

"

Abc

"

It is automatically transformed into "Abc". But not sure if it is a good idea to change any of that.

You might need \n to force those lines.
