Text input boxes support a single line by default. When Multiline is set to No (by default), a text input does not wrap text or resize itself vertically.

When Multiline is set to No, you can clear any text that was previously typed by clicking this icon:

If you set Multiline to Yes, then a text input accepts multiple lines of text.
