How can I display long text using Vaadin? I tried it with Label and method setText(), but unfortunately it displays only first ~250 characters.

The Label component in Vaadin 14 represents the HTML <label>, which according to MDN "represents a caption for an item in a user interface". As a caption component, it is not really suitable for long texts. It can be a little confusing if you are from the Vaadin 7/8 world where Label was a generic component for any text.

In Vaadin 14, I suggest using the Paragraph component. I represents the <p> tag in HTML.

This should work

layout.add(new Paragraph("Hello from a very long text..."));
