BUG: The PB tool can't handle long titles

(This is a PB version of the first bug in BUGS 5.1: Custom series, but worse.)

1) Open the PB tool in a not too wide panel and click Add Book.

2) Paste a book title that is longer than the visible part of the title field.

3) Try to add something to the end of the pasted title.

>> You can't, because you can't get there. Neither selection nor arrow keys will get you beyond the last visible letter.

4) Clear the field and start typing 'Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx'.

>> It's impossible to type in a title longer than the visible field.

Very annoying bug when you try to build one PB after another with exceptionally long titles, as I did the other day.

Workaround: use the info field to get the title right, and don't move it to the title field until you're sure it's what you want. Or use a full-screen panel. (Unfortunately I didn't think of the latter until today. At the time I wanted the Library open in the other half.)

Note: I've only checked the title field. All other fields, including the 'hidden' ones, need to be checked for the same bug.
