Hey everyone,

I found another UI issue with the DataTable editor. This time its in the Row editor. If there is a FText, FString or FName field present and there is a new line character, the field kind of break. I doesn’t show all the text inside, doesn’t scroll or allow for the editor cursor to move. This makes it really really hard to make inline edits to DataTables containing text fields.

I’ve attached a screenshot to demonstrate the issue. The issue occurs on the field TaskText (type FText). Can also be reproduced on types FString and FName

Hi Fenrir Willow,

Thank you for this update. I have updated UE-23435 to reflect that the datatable row editor displays this behavior.
