When the title of a visual is too long relative to the visual size the title is cut off and replaced by 3 dots. This results in having to hover over the title or entering focus mode to see the full title.
I think the titles should have the option to wrap text, similar to the functionality that the card visual has.

I'm pleased to say we shipped this feature in the Feb 2019 update of Power BI Desktop! You'll see an option to enable word wrap in the formatting pane for visuals. Thanks!

RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
Great that the team have released some wrapping but we really need the option to map the axis labels and legends.
RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
Why is there no word wrap for Category labels as well?
RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
The Wrap Text option only appears in the "Title" formatting menu for the Treemap visual - is it different depending on the visual being used, or did Microsoft only apply the update to Titles? It would be better to have test wrap on all data fields (Category labels...)
RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
Does not work correctly. That is that it does not wrap until you size the table smaller than the other columns within the visualization.
RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
The same Option should be available for items in the visual not only the title

This feature has been released as of the February 2019 desktop update: https://powerbi.microsoft.com/en-us/blog/power-bi-desktop-february-2019-feature-summary/
Thanks to all who voted for the idea and for the PBI team for implementing this.

Please add
RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
Yes, please add the feature that can wrap text legend. Please.
RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
Two and a half years later and this feature has not been added. Let's keep begging, everyone. It's a very basic functionality of any visualization program.
RE: Ability to wrap text in visual titles
Definitely a good idea. I have many single row cards where the number is a small percentage, but requires 3-4 words to describe. End up making the card too wide to accommodate the text.
