ScrollingArea text wrapping

[mischnic]

On macOS, the text isn't getting wrapped at all (only newlines are handled):

My bad, params.Width = p->AreaWidth simply doesn't work for a scrolling area.

I'm not fully satisfied with how I did scrolling areas in the current system anyway. Will keep open until that's resolved.

Currently trying to calculate the scrolling canvas size for a text programatically:

1. render a normal area to determine its width
2. use that width as uiDrawTextLayoutParams.width to get the text's height using uiDrawTextLayoutExtents
3. replace the area with a scrolling area with the width and height from 2.

Is there a better way to do this (without the first area)? Why is uiAreaDrawParams.AreaWidth & AreaHeight 0 for scrolling areas? They have a ”viewport size" (= AreaWidth) and a canvas size (= the one in the uiNewScrollingArea constructor, the only one affected by uiAreaSetSize)

What's the correct approach for handling text-wrapping?
