Custom field does not allow to enter text anymore #5083

Description

@johann-petrak

Have created a new entry field on a separate tab (line "Content:content" in the set general fields config) when I starteded using JabRef at version 3. This showed the field as a big entry field over the whole space of the tab and allowed me to enter arbitrary many lines of text, with deliberate newlines added.

I am now using version 5.0-dev and the same field is just shown as a single line, centered on the tab and there is no way to enter more than one line of text.

Saving notes, a summary of the content etc about a reference that way was a crucial feature that made me adopt JabRef, why does this not work any more as expected? Is there a new way to get that behaviour back?

JabRef 5.0-dev--snapshot--2019-06-16--master--8d99db113
