Bug #34510	Columns in table editor do not word-wrap properly

Description:
In the table editor wherever you can enter data (such as the "Foreign Key Name") the
default wrap functionality is to go to a new line (which is just barely visible) instead
of being cropped.

How to repeat:
Enter in an entry longer than the space alloted.

Let's Say this is a an entry column:

|Foreign Key Name______|_Referenced_Table___|________
|Longforeignkeynametob_|____________________|________

The "Longforeignkeynametob..." wraps down to the next line but since it's only a single
row tall you just see the very tops of the letters.

Suggested fix:
I would expect wordwrap behavior in text entry areas to be like that of the column
titles.  As the field grows smaller than the length of the entry add "..." and crop.

Or just crop (as is done in checkbox fields and drop down fields).

Thank you for a bug report. Verified just as described.

Fixed in 5.0 (rev 3201) and 5.1 (rev 3365).

fix verified. will go into 5.0.25

An entry was added to the 5.0.25 changelog:

In the Table Editor tab, wherever data could be entered, such as in the Foreign Key Name
entry field, the default wrap protocol was to go to a new line. This resulted in text
that was only partially visible.
