@Anonymous Just type something, click outside the text box to close it. z enter a enter. Click the text and adjust the box smaller, it make take a time or two to get it to the size you need. 

If I recall correctly are you working in a viewport, if so you may want to work in model space for the text.

In addition to other advice, you should be able to zoom out while you are editing the text/mtext.

If you still can't see the end of the text lines (the grips) you can change the width in the properties palette.

Hi,

i suggest to do the follow :

  •  Select you Mtext .
  • Ctrl+1 to activate properties dialog . 
  • go to Columns (Text tab ) and select it >> Column Settings >> No columns ( this step to activate Defined Width.
  • get back for properties dialog >> Defined Width >> insert a proper small value .
  • Now .. you will find that your Mtext box reduced following the previous modified value .
