Rich text behaviour on forms:

• Rich text formatting is done in edit mode and same is viewed in view mode.
• When the contents of the field is too large to fit into the space, a pop up button is displayed.

Rich text on reports:

• Rich text renders the same character length as of the text field.
• When inline editing is turned on, the user is presented a single text field control in the report.
• When the user clicks on the pop up button of the rich text field control they are presented with a pop up window,  the rich text tool bar is displayed in the pop up.

Audit on Rich text:

• When auditing rich text field, the actual non-rendered HTML (including tags) is displayed since the Rich Text is stored as HTML.
• Only the value and the formatting are audited. For example, let's say on a rich text field the user enters "Hello World" and saves it.  They then make the text bold "Hello World" and save again. The audit record on the second save would show as <bold> Hello World </bold>.
