I tried to understand what gentilecliente was pointing out.

To have a better understanding, and as suggested by him, I have put a very long ( about 400 lines of text containing about 30,000 chars as JPEG comment into Faststone Image Viewer by Faststone -> Edit -> JPEG Comment. ALL of the comment could be seen in the window. Also I am able to scroll down the text in the window with arrow keys and also with vertical scroll bar available. I closed the program.

As a next step, I reopened the same image with XnView. Also, I have copied the comment to IPTC Caption.

Now I clicked on XnView -> Edit -> Metadata -> Edit IPTC Data. I see my long Text in the Caption window with scrollable Text ant vertical scroll bar. Observation till this part is just as desired.

Now I run XnView -> Edit -> Metadata -> Set Comment. I get the window with Image and ALL the text I entered. BUT ......

BUT, the text window (as compared to Edit IPTC data window, has two differences.
1) As I scroll down, the pointer is going down, but the focus is NOT shifting. As such I am not able to see the scrolled down text. However, as I was trying to delete, I was able to see the text 'before' deletion.

2) when the inserted text is long, I expect to find the vertical scroll bar, but it is NOT there.

3) In the browser mode, In the Tool-tip against the picture, I get only a part of the comment, limited by the window size and without the vertical scrollbar.

4) Also, The various output formats (Contact sheet) do not show the entire comment (behave differently than expected) with such long text. May need to review.

Of course, I do not understand how frequently, we encounter such long comment, but having provided such a facility, it may have to be made to perfection.

I request gentilecliente to respond whether this is what he intended to say or something else.

Thanks for everybody's time.

that is more i saw. but i think there is a random problem with inserted newline indesired caused by some system routine i don't know (also in faststone) bye Fed.

Sorry but i have not received it

Those long comments are the character content of a graphic page or what we know of that content. Everyone so could have his own database es: mushrooms, plants or ••• SPAM ••• menu or film oh houses described for buyers, virus with information for researchers or what you want and all is made by a man or woman that don't understand anything of database programming. bye Fed.

Could you send me a sample, please?

There was a problem (perhaps) with my sent, have you received something? i sent photo 3 times and it seemed ok.
that photo however are normal photo of a book page interesting and containing comment extracted by ocr. to put this comment is a tecnique fast and full of informations because is integrated with images. Pierre you can see that a slide show that lets do to clients (with appropriate form) what they want (example see films of houses with comments containing all needed) and more you can do.
bye Federico.

So the problem is only in the 'set comment' dialog, Right?

I strooooogly disagree this idea!!!! Please, keep descript.ion files as they are, they aren't 'wrong' as the guy thinks. Who wants to put comments to the files, let he uses different programs or techniques but shouldn't say what's wrong and what's not. Everybody uses something different. Exactly the descript.ion files were my main reason I switched from ACDSee to much better XnView.

used acdsee then i look all world and discover faststone so i lost all description (when they where on acdse often were changed for the problem of rename not correctly ...bhooo?
Andrew promised me to put comment into detail list i am waiting....
so i search the web and find xnview (program is more complex than faststone but i think is better do few but fine) xnview get comment througly and let you see all in its littleee window but if you try to change it program cuts big comment saw first.
