Help with expanding dialogue box

Question

I am currently having a problem with RPG Maker XP with expanding the dialogue box. I usually never receive a problem like this before when I expanded the dialogue box with other games, but somehow this game doesn't want to budge for me. What I want is for the text box to expand from three lines of text to four lines of text.

^ This is the original size of the text box with three lines of text. Under "Window_Message", it is set to "super(20, 304, 600, 135)".

 

XPTextBox_2.png

 

^ This is what happens when I try to expand the dialogue box. Somehow the y-position doesn't move at all for me and the height cuts off the down scrolling arrow.

^ This is a photoshopped example of what I would like to have done.

 

I was wondering if there are other scripts that may have affected the "Window_Message" scripts, maybe that is why I cannot change the size of the dialogue box to what I please. Currently, I'm stumped. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Only you can tell, we don't know what scripts you're using. But if you say you have succesfully implemented this feature in other projects before then there's no other explanation.The only other possibility I see (though unlikely in my opinion) is a use of the event command which moves the message box on top/in the middle/at the bottom of the screen, which might override your edit.

Thank you, Moonpearl, for your advice. In the end, I couldn't figure out which scripts are affecting this, so I'm going to keep with the three lines of text for now and just add any additional text boxes as I see fit.
