Crystal Enterprise - String Field too long

I had a quirky error in Crystal Enterprise 9's ActiveX viewer today. A field that properly respects it's width in the regular report view, and in even the "pre-print-button-being-pressed" preview in ActiveX will suddenly overlay (or is it underlay?) anything to the right.  I.e. it stops clipping properly.

This thread here had the trick to fix the overflow:

In short, the fix is to set the "can grow" of that field to Yes, but also, set the limit to the number of rows to 1 (or whatever).  For some reason that forces the rendering to respect the field width.
