I have tested Windows API directly using DrawText, TextOut and
ExtTextOut functions - they all suffer from this problem.
The problem is bound by the total width of the drawn text (not just the
small visible portion), where beyond some point it breaks. There appears
to be no feasible workaround. It may be possible to programmatically
break apart long text and draw it in chunks, but that is ugly and only
addresses the symptoms of an unstable problem within Windows platform.
Moving on now...

Hi,
Has anybody experienced this problem or might know what is going on here?
At around 5K characters the content of TEdit suddenly appears
empty/blank (visually). The content is correct when retrieved
programmatically. If enough characters are removed (programmatically)
the content will show up again. Changing the font size changes this
limit, where the limit is lower for a larger font size.
It is as if the issue is bound by the visual width of entire text
content, as opposed to just the small visible part.
Tested on Windows 7:
Lazarus 1.4.4 r49931 FPC 2.6.4 i386-win32-win32/win64
Lazarus 1.6.4 r54278 FPC 3.0.2 i386-win32-win32/win64
Lazarus 1.9.0 r54874 FPC 3.0.2 i386-win32-win32/win64
Also tested with Delphi 7, where the limit appeared past 50K characters.
Sample project is attached.
I will appreciate any clues to what's going on here.
Thanks,
Denis
