I'm sure there was some discussion recently on the forum about word wrapping. But I can't find it.
Anyway, there should be the ability to word wrap names that don;t have spaces, but do have mixed case naming. We commonly use a naming scheme we've called Complex Pascal Naming where capital letters separate words, but Acronyms and Initialisms are allowed to retain their Uppercase. It's not that hard to write an algorithm to split the words up and determine where the word wrap should be.
Please consider.

Paolo

That's the one!
Searching for any of {"Word wrap" wordwrap} doesn't find it, I guess I should have added: "wrap" on its own... ::) ::)

Algorithm: e.g. Split if needed after lowercase letter whenever lower case precedes uppercase; split if needed prior to any instance of Uppercase letter followed by lower case; split (say) if needed at any non alphanumeric character
