Description
How can I get a horizontal scrollbar to appear for the text editor\*?
It is a bit limiting to have to find the longest line, in order to be able to scroll across the full length...
---
\*I am not sure if text editor is the correct name... Looking at the 'overview.c' code, the "text editor" seems to be generated by `nk_edit_string` in the [following lines](https://github.com/Immediate-Mode-UI/Nuklear/blob/a3f40348d572fad24af1e2d6c6b755171af481db/demo/overview.c#L587):
nk_layout_row_static( ctx, 180, 278, 1 );
nk_edit_string(
ctx,
NK_EDIT_BOX,
box_buffer,
&box_len,
512,
nk_filter_default
);
