Title: v15.2 – “Wrap label regardless” option
Post by: Paolo F Cantoni on July 23, 2021, 10:06:59 am

One of our users has a requirement to wrap a Label regardless of the fact that there are no (usual) wrapping points (spaces predominantly).  In this case, it was URL endpoint specifications (in Azure).  Can we have a "wrap regardless" option on the Label context menu?  It would force the label to wrap at the current (width) sizing.

Thoughts?
Reported,
Paolo

For my feeling a label should be as short as possible. The need for wrapping just runs diametral against my feelings here.

That used to be my view.  I all the decade-plus I've been using EA, the problem never occurred.  But the length of the label that MUST Be displayed is not set by us but by external parties so we need to handle it as best as possible.
