This is entirely done in src/ui/ubasicstyle.cpp
line 873 to 881.
Here, the required offset is computed. But so far, you don't have a way to 
retrieve that value.
I'd really like to remove this piece of code as it's really messy.
Probably a scroll pane should work.
Otherwise an entirely new solution should be considered.

Thanks.
Well, historically issues (as always). This used to be a struct ...

The text API is still a subject to change ...
