A textbox isn't meant to hold more than one line, regardless of its height.

You'd need to create multiple textboxes, then script the whole typing system yourself.

Perhaps you could fake it, though.
Hide the TextBox (set it's coordinates to be off the GUI), and use repeatedly_execute_always to fill a Label with the entered text. Since Labels can handle multiple lines, it should look as you want. See this thread for slightly more details.
I know what you're thinking ... Don't think that.
