You miss the point entirely, not only would an FXTextField not solve the problem as I outlined it (it would just offer a 'scrollable' FXLabel) but that was just an example. My 'real world' situations are far more complex and involve many other widgets (FXComboBoxes, Lists, Buttons, etc..., even the FXMainWindow could really use this) I personally have much use for such a feature and have seen other toolkits make use of similar. Its not a do-or-die thing, I have found nasty hacky work arrounds for most of the situations I have encountered where this would be extremely usefull but a simple addition to fox could easily make all those hacks go away.
