REALLY GREAT!

I've attempted this myself and had the hardest time with the sizing. It would always run off the edges, and the height wouldn't be respected by the parent view. (My primary use case for this type of multi-line editing is in a Form, where scrolling is disabled and the "cell" should self-size. )

It appears the key to solving my horizontal sizing issue is setting the contentCompressionResistance being "low," (which I don't understand). The solution to the vertical issue is then solvable as you've done (although I don't really get why the frame(minheight:maxHeight) works...)

Anyway, huge thanks!
