Poor long text field UX

[JackOfNoneTrades]

One cannot tell that a text is too long for its box.

When the left side of the box is clicked, the text jumps to the beginning.

It's not really user friendly. Arrow navigation of long texts also is a pain.

@JackOfNoneTrades jep. a New UI Layout is planned. If you want to contribute to it that would be appreciated ^^"

the main issue is that we are actively supporting minecrafts "auto gui scale" which limits us to 240p.
And to ensure we have enough space (since some config entries are excessively long) for the names i had to decide on a max shared length.
And i wanted to provide a color preview :)

Note: that the 240p limitation will be dropped in the ui rewrite, we will be using 480p instead ^^"

Please keep me updated, I might contribute!

This might take a while since this is kinda dependent on chunkpregen getting its update till the porting phase...
Since that is a more priority update.

@JackOfNoneTrades this has been fixed in the rewrite.
