1. Make the field bigger or set the font size to auto.

2. Use the setItems method in the console with line breaks in the string. Example:

this.getField("Dropdown1").setItems(["ABCDEFG\rHIJKLMNOP\rQRSTUV","AABBCC\rDDEEFF\rGGHHII"])

You should be careful of adding line-breaks in a drop-down field. It's not a documented feature and will be buggy if the number of lines is not the same in all items.
