I've just noticed that when I add more characters than the display can show in a single line (for example a long name) in a contact field, the text doesn't scroll in order to show the complete name. Is it supposed to be this way or is it yet another bug of the Symbian OS?

Always been that way as far as I can remember. It used to do it on my 6630 from 4 years ago so it's not a bug. If its wider than the screen you get the usual ellipsis.
It's not something I'd expect to see nor that bothers me. Clicking into your contact gives you smaller text and displays more characters anyway (32 or something)
You could always change your system font to something like Arial Narrow to squeeze more characters into your basic display
