Whatever the answer is, it is not to be found in the Gambas documentation.
Gambas borrows its primitive graphical controls from toolkits, Gtk and QT,
in (meanwhile) multiple versions. Their documentation is where you should
start looking. (I would *assume* that the answer is: as much as memory
permits.)

I don't know where your problems with text input controls come from but I
just generated a 10^6 characters long string and inserted it into a TextArea
without any problems.

Tobi
