[General] Is there a limit to the info box thing?

It's kind of important for the map I'm working on that a material item shows all the info, that way it shows the effects of crafting with it.... but it seems to have a limit to how much you're allowed to write :/ I've tried shortening the text as much as possible....As seen in the picture it cuts out at the end....

Anyhow, just wondering if there was a way to expand that info box :/ It's no biggie I guess..I could always just add item info to the quest section under the title "Crafting".. It would just be nice if I could fit it all into the item description box for easy access..

So how many lines of text do you actually need?

I'm on latest patch and on reforged and here is an example picture of how many lines you could make (I stopped at 17).

Try using "|n" instead of space to expand the info box.

True, in the object editor there is also a button called "new line" which automatically creates a new line for text (Creating the "|n").
Using space eats up an "mark" each time it's used.

@DoomBlade Oh hey there :) I guess they must have updated how many lines you're allowed to use in Reforge, unfortunately my maps run into so many issues on the reforge that I'm using patches 1.29 and 1.30.4 for my map editing. I guess the limit is only 13 in the older versions. Thanks so much for the feedback though!

@Warseeker And thanks for your advice too. I am using the "|n" in that info box, also the color codes which might be taking up a lot of space even though it doesn't show it in game :/

Eh, I guess I'll just have to work around it :)
