issues stretching JRDesignTextField

[black_lotus]

I have a few JRDesignTextField's that are added to my report programmatically. Some of the text in the fields is too long and requires stretching vertically over multiple lines. The fields stretch, however some don't seem to stretch enough and some of the words gets cut off. The fields are wide enough to hold at least one word per line. Below is the code I use for the field. Is there something I need to add/change in order for the stretch to work properly? Thanks.

 

Code:

JRDesignBand columnHeaderBand = new JRDesignBand();columnHeaderBand.setHeight(22);columnHeaderBand.setSplitAllowed(false);        textField = new JRDesignTextField();textField.setWidth(75);textField.setX(((colWidth - textField.getWidth()) / 2) + colWidth * (i + 3) - 30);textField.setY(6);textField.setPositionType(JRElement.POSITION_TYPE_FLOAT);textField.setStyle(headerStyle);textField.setHorizontalAlignment(JRAlignment.HORIZONTAL_ALIGN_RIGHT);textField.setVerticalAlignment(JRAlignment.VERTICAL_ALIGN_MIDDLE);            textField.setEvaluationTime(JRDesignExpression.EVALUATION_TIME_NOW);textField.setStretchWithOverflow(true);expression = new JRDesignExpression();expression.setValueClass(java.lang.String.class);expression.setText(""" + myObject.get(i).getName() + """);textField.setExpression(expression);columnHeaderBand.addElement(textField);

So I tried appending some extra characters to the end of the text inside the JRDesignTextField (one, then two, etc.)... no change. Then I tried adding a blank extra character to the beginning and end, and that seems to work. Go figure.

Which output format does show the truncated text?

lucianc - the link no longer works and I'm having this issue. Do you remember the solution?
