Weird DrawTextA!!

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry

Hi all,

I've got a lengthy string and I'm drawing it using DrawTextA with the
following format options:
DT_LEFT + DT_WORDBREAK + DT_WORD_ELLIPSIS + DT_NOCLIP

The rect is big enough to display more than 2 lines of text, but the
function draws only just 2 lines, adding an ellipsis at the end of the
second line.

Why can this happen?

Thanks,
Ivan
