You can only see as much as will fit on your screen in the documentation for a UDT. For Long UDTs it would be helpful to have a scroll bar so you can scroll through documentation.

After some checking, this is present on all “Documentation” fields in the designer, so not just UDT editor.

Funny you mention that, I have a 4k monitor but am forced to run it in 1440p because of this [bug that’s been present for years now.](https://forum.inductiveautomation.com/t/bug-12519-scripting-character-cursor-position/22432)

Edit: Looks like this is actually fixed in 8.1.18, so now I can re-enable my full resolution.

No point using a 4K if you’re not using 100% scaling though 🙂
