CRM 2013 Multiple Line text fields auto-expand Issue

In CRM 2013, I have placed a multiple line text field on a form. I have set it to display 4 lines. If I type 20 lines in the field, when I tab out of the field, it will expand the display box to all 20 lines, pushing all fields below it down. In CRM 2011 it used to stay the same size but display a vertical scroll bar. Does anyone know how to keep the display box from expanding.

I have the same problem in CRM 2016 OnPrem. It's pretty annoying that MS does not react to this. Why a business impact statement. It is plainly obvious that a form will become very ugly with an expanded text field like that.

This is still not fixed for us with CRM 2013 Service Pack 1 Update Rollup 2 installed.

Setting the number of rows and having the automatically expand box uncheck has no effect.

The multiple lines of text box still expands to show all the data in it and does not get scrollbars.

Does anyone have any updates on this or a workaround?

I got the same issue in SP1 UR1. But has anyone told MS that it is a problem?

Unfortunately unchecking the "Automatically expand to use available space" does not solve this issue. I don't see the fix available in the Rollup 3 either. Has anyone had any progress on this issue?

Hi Satish,

I am using multiline text and have given line displayable 3. I need scroll bar if entered text exceeds then 3 line. I have not checked auto expand checkbox as I wanted scroll bar, but still I am not getting vertical scroll bar. Can you please suggest how to get scrollbar on that control?

No, I haven't. It seems to have disappeared into a black hole with Microsoft.
