Set maximum chat length?

Hey,

I'm having a problem with the built-in chat system.
When a player types more than 1 line chat, this happens:https://www.dropbox.com/s/9t8a4r64nzzye0q/chat.png?dl=0

So is there any ways to set the maximum number of letters the player can type in the chat?

Thanks in advance!

You can do something like I did.

<any key>:
if string_length(keyboard_string) < 46 {
    last_text = keyboard_string;
} else {
    keyboard_string = last_text;
}

You can also using string_width to specify a width.

The chat uses draw_text_ext to draw the wrapping text. Unfortunately, that does sometimes show up like this. As far as I'm aware, there's no fix unfortunately.
