# File List: User fields truncating

 * Hi,
 * My uploader has a ‘User field’ containing a text field where my uploaders can
   write their comments. This could be several lines long.
 * I’ve created a File List, and when displaying the ‘User Fields’ it displays the
   data in a small frame. The frame is too small to display all my data.
 * I have added the following CSS to allow me to scroll the contents of the window,
   which at least allows me to view the text. But due to the strange blue highlight(
   which makes the text white) it is hard to read.
 * /* Style File upload File List – make long comments visible */
    table.wfu_browser_table
   select { overflow: auto; }
 * Is there a way to make the window containing the User Fields adjust to an appropriate
   height, and for the text to wrap inside it onto multiple lines?
 * Thanks,
    David

 * Hi, User Fields column displays the field values in a select element. Each value
   is on a separate line of the select element and cannot be wrapped.
 * Instead of using User Fields column, add a Custom column and set its ID to 1 (
   for the first user field). This will display the field values inside elements
   that can be wrapped.
 * Try it and let me know.
