GuiTextBox() is not handling overflow nicely #467

Description

@foxblock

GuiTextBox() handling of text that is longer than the control is not great unfortunately.

The standard GuiDrawText shortens the text using dots as ellipsis, which makes navigating with arrow keys or inserting text confusing. Clicking with the mouse also resets the draw offset, which makes the text jump around.

See the attached video for a demonstration of what I mean.

Unfortunately I don't see an easy fix for this, short of adding a "noEllipsis" option to GuiDrawText or writing a second version of that function.

Looking for feedback on how to best approach this.
