Is the text too long?
Can you upload a screenshot?

See how the quote after the word "fools." drops to a new line in the attachment.
And some code...

B4X:

sent7b = QUOTE & "They're such a bunch of " & varFoodOrObject(0) & "-lovin' fools." & QUOTE & " "
iSent(7) = sent7a & sent7b
For i = 1 To 19
  sb.Append(iSent(i))
Next
txtMainStory.Text = sb

Are you using an EditText of Label? I wasn't able to reproduce it with a Label.

Hi Erel,

I'm using an EditText as the container for the story. If I remember correctly, I did this because I found it didn't matter how long the story was and that I could scroll the EditText up and down, but couldn't do this with a label.

You could add the Label to a Scrollview, if the text is larger you will be able to scroll it, search the forums for scrollview sample code, there are plenty.

You can use StringUtils.MeasureMultilineTextHeight to find the required height of the label.
