Hi, A screen shot will only capture what text is in the text box. So if the user types 20 lines of text, 10 lines of that text will have scrolled of the screen and won't be captured.

:) Let me try a different way

You say if user types 100 chars, 70 scroll off screen and only 30 are shown

To solve this problem you propose to limit the amount of chars a user can type

The screen shot doesn't care if 70 chars are missing because they scrolled or because the user couldn't type them up

Do you see what I am saying?
