In our old jasper studio versions there was a option "Stretch with overflow". This option was used to allow the text field to stretch downwards in order to display all its text when it doesn't fit in the defined text field height. This property will work irrespective of cell height that you provide.
This option is now removed in our newer versions and replaced with
Stretch Height (which is the same as the old stretch with overflow)
Stretch with overflow is now part of the text adjust options:
Cut Text (which is the default)
Stretch Height (which is the same as the old stretch with overflow)
Scale Font (which instead of stretching the element, JasperReports will try to decrease the font size until the full text fit the textfield size).
Please find attached screenshot.

Looks like ScaleFont does not work at all. I have a field with the expression "$F{last_name}+ ", "+ $F{first_name}". In case of any longer option other that that fits the physical text box size (MIXEDNAME, VERYLONGNAME) it just cut the rest of the lite, for example, "MIXEDNAME, ", it just behaves as "CutText".
