The text is truncated, not simply not displayed:

    put "1234567890 " into temp
    repeat 10000
       put temp after accum

    put accum into fld 1 -- 110,000 chars
    answer the length of fld 1
end mouseUp


You get 65,533.

Curiosity made me test:

on setup
  repeat until len(tStr) > 66000
    put any word of the colornames & space after tStr
  end repeat
  put last word of tStr -- for reference later
  put tStr into fld 1
end setup

The field is a list field with a horizontal scrollbar. I can't see the end of the line visually but the message box knows what it is.

From the message box:

put len(line 1 of fld 1) --  66004
put len(fld 1) -- 66004
put the last word of line 1 of fld 1 -- matches what the handler put there

Works the same for me without the spaces in the string.
