I'm currently implementing an application using ncurses and also tried to use a 
multiline field to edit longer texts. 

Is there any solution to that issue? I have the problem that I can edit 
properly 
in a multiline field, I even can load a TEXT-field from MYSQL into it and it 
gets displayed properly (also with new lines etc.)

But I was never able to get more back from a multiline field that the first 
row. 

Someone wrote there is an application-wise workaround for that. Any ideas what
 to do solve that issue?
