but the problem seems that the editor field becomes oversized when large amounts of text is entered ... It seems that the text when copied and pasted in is doubling the pasted text in length.
Hi, JesseKnott-2239. I created a basic demo to test entering text or pasting text, both work fine. The Editor class provides the AutoSize property which that controls whether the editor will change size to accommodate input as the user enters it. Try to set the property to TextChanges and test again.
<Editor AutoSize="TextChanges"/>
