NANCY: Text area input overwrite

[tunnelsociety]

In the letter in Joy's office where we enter the name of a carousel horse, we can write many more letters than fit on the screen, but the original limits input to what fits on the screen, e.g. many 'i' but only few 'M'.

In ScummVM there appears to be some limit to number of chars, but it may extend off the visible area.
In the recording, I press 'M' 10 times, then backspace them. In the original, the input never proceeds beyond the fourth 'M', unlike ScummVM (but we only *see* the first four).

Update: this affects the Barnacle Blast upgrade screen too, and there, the overwrite is visible on the screen.

It's more significant at the Barnacle Blast reprogramming scene, where our text actually collides with other text on the screen; new recording and saves attached.

The character limits are not the same as the original (for example, fifteen 'l' in original but only five in ScummVM while entering the purchased horse's name on the steno note), but the only overwrites/graphical glitches I can now produce during Barnacle Blast reprogramming also occur in the original :)
