Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
I want to have infinite lines of text in a text box. The whole of war and peace, please.

Describe the solution you'd like
No effort. Just war and peace in a single text box.

Additional context
Right now the box supports about 300ish lines of text before it hits the height limit for a single Surface object. We would need to stitch a couple (3?) surfaces together representing the back scroll, the currently visible and the forward scroll, then when each moves out of occupying it's current role it is wiped and they are all shuffled along one in a loop. Only text that currently fits onto one of the surfaces would actually have it's lines and chunks finalised.

Would this still use a up a silly amount of memory? Probably. This is why digital books still use pages I guess.
