Need the ability to have text wrap for the y-axis category of horizontal bar charts. My suggestion would be to use the height of each bar as what controls how lines of text are visible.



In the attached image, area A is an example of a default horizontal bar chart. In area B the minimum category width and inner padding changed but the amount of text in the top two bars didn’t change. In the new method for wrapping text, Area C had the same change as area B but the top two bars now show wrapped text but still doesn’t display all of the text for the second bar. Area D increased the category width and decreased the inner padding which then allows all of the text for the second bar to be visible.
