InputText: Fixed a few pathological crash cases on single-line InputText widget with multiple millions characters worth of contents. Because the current text drawing function reserve for a worst-case amount of vertices and how we handle horizontal clipping, we currently just avoid displaying those single-line widgets when they are over a threshold of 2 millions characters, until a better solution is found.
