TextEdit 

The TextEdit UI element allows the entry and display of a multiple line text. The text in this UI element uses a uniform font, font size, and font style. The UI element is displayed with borders and the frame size is specified by the properties col and row. If the number of rows exceeds the value of the row property, a vertical scroll bar is displayed.

If the value of the wrappingproperty is off, the scroll bar is only be displayed if the text row length exceeds the value of the col property.

When the template is designed there is no check for the tool tip property to guarantee accessibility.

A tooltip does not necessarily have to be set for this UI element, but it could make sense to set it, if it contains detailed semantic information.
