If the cell has a scroll bat, that means that the content is inside another element the is limiting it’s height. You will need to use CSS that targets that element in order to give the content more space.
Text wrapping inside a cell is governed by the “text-align” and “white-space” properties, you can adjust those properties to change how the text gets laid out in the cell.

I used a custom filter plugin to expand the textarea in my implementation. Maybe this sample will help you.
// Change Notes TextArea to have more lines and be wider
add_filter( 'pdb-form_element_build_text-area', 'pdb_form_element_build_text_area_el', 10, 1 );
/**
* Changes Form Attributes in a PDb_FormElement.class of HTML type 'textarea'
*
* @see https://xnau.com/creating-custom-form-elements/
*
* @param PDb_FormElement.class $field
* @return PDb_FormElement.class $field
*/
function pdb_form_element_build_text_area_el( $field )
{
if ($field->name=='notes')
{
$field->output=' <textarea name="notes" rows="12" cols="120">' . $field->value . '</textarea>';
}
return $field;
}
