Handling long text fields

[linker3000]

Hi,

Is there a special way to handle long text fields (with CRs) (iReport NB 3.6.0)? I am producing a report from our helpdesk software (GLPI) and although the query code works well in MYSQL Query Browser and returns the full text of the last follow-up entry as expected, iReport leaves enough space for long text fields (as if it knows how much text there is to show), but the space is empty.

I think I have tried all variations of the stretch/float etc. options and have tried fixed-pitch fonts. Single line follow-ups show OK but there's just blank spaces for the rest.

Thanks.
