Text size shrinking and expanding in Text Fields as per text length.

[thehamzajunaid]

What were you trying to do?

I wanted a text field which can show my text using a predefined font size. If the the text field is small to show all my text then I was expecting to have a "keyboard down press button" functionality to scroll through the text. My text is multiline and sometimes single line.

How did you attempt to do it?

page.drawText('Some Title: ', { x: fieldX, y: 650, size: 12});
const textField = form.createTextField("favourite.stringValueFromBackend");
textField.enableMultiline();
if(stringValueFromBackend){
textField.setText(stringValueFromBackend)
}
textField.addToPage(page, { x: fieldX, y: 630, width: fieldWidth, height: 15 });

What actually happened?

You can see the squeezed text with a very small font size. Title and Output fields are also of the same height.

What did you expect to happen?

I was expecting something like this where I can scroll my text content using keyboard down press key.

How can we reproduce the issue?

The above code that I have provided is enough to execute it.
