Hi,
When i typed a very long text in the JTextPane (the one near the "send" button) and clicked "Send", I expect the text that cannot be accomodated in the size of the JEditorPane to go to the next line, instead of needing to use the horizontal scrollbar.

How can I change the code to make tat happen? My code as below.

Thanks in advance

Regards
