TextInput's xToPosition() does not work when there's more text than fit in the field

XMLWordPrintable

      Run the code below and try to use the mouse to select a word from the end of the text.
      There does not appear to be any way of telling how much of the text has scrolled off
      the left edge.

      import Qt 4.7

Rectangle {
    width: 640; height: 480;
    Rectangle {
        anchors.centerIn: parent
        width: 400; height: 25;
        color: "blue"

        TextInput {
            anchors.fill: parent
            color: "white"
            focus: true
            text: "Sea Shepherd campaigner Peter Bethune faces 15 years in jail after boarding whaling ship"
            MouseArea {
                anchors.fill: parent
                onPressed: parent.cursorPosition = parent.xToPosition(mouse.x);
                onPositionChanged: parent.moveCursorSelection(parent.xToPosition(mouse.x));
            }
        }
    }
}
