my text box is really big , especially in width.  I cant see the edges to even see If it can be reduced like the height can. resolution doesn't seem to affect it. im playing on a tv. like 1600x1000 kind of resolution. how to reduce the box size?

You already know, that the text box itself can be modified ingame? Hover your mouse icon on the borders until it changes and voila!

cant see / get to the edges on the width portion.
