I enabled the scrollbar on the text entry box, which is where the user enters their text, and that works well.
The issue is on the other end of the course, where I display the learner's initial responses back. I'm using a text caption with the variable $$student_response$$ to do this.
I don't want to set an upper limit to the amount of text the user can enter, so I didn't set a maximun length.
My issue is that if the learner plugs more text into the text entry box at the beginning of the course than will fit into the area I've assigned for the text caption at the end of the course, the extra text gets cut off.
I'm looking for something like this, but I'm using CP6 so I don't think this one is compatible.
