Text doesn't fit (too much to write) in TextField/TextArea and it doesn't automatically wrap. Solution

Question

Text field which isn't that long (on the X axis) but it's deep (on Y axis). I use it to display Arrays lists. Some arrays have longer elements, some smaller.

The point is to force word wrap in the textfield/area so that the text inside it doesn't get hidden by an edge and everything is visible.

Any sugestions?

Use a GUIStyle which has wordWrap set:

Alternatively, change the main skin to do it:

GUI.skin.textArea.wordWrap = true;
