Captivate 9 - variable text field character limit?

Hey! Working with Captivate 9 and JavaScript, I created a game that gives immediate feedback via a text field with a variable attached, so that I can treat it like a dynamic text field and update it when I need to. Everything works great, except, there seems to be about a 50 character limit on the text field itself.

How is it, that I can create a user variable with 150 max characters in the project variables, but a text field cannot hold 150 character variable in it? No matter the size of the text field or font size, it always cuts off. Its ruining the aesthetics.

Am I missing a setting somewhere? Is this customizable?

Has the limit been removed/increased in Captivate 2017 at all?

Its driving me nuts. Any info anyone could provide is appreciated. Coming from someone with programming experience, this is frustrating to say the least.
