Ability to wrap text in visual titles

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!

Desperately needed. I know someone made a comment about "if we make the title multi line where does it end, 2 lines, 3, 20..."

To which I say - don't be stupid, or so dramatic. No one wants 20 line titles

I think 99% of us would be satisfied with just a 2nd line. For those extra small card visualizations that can't currently display a 3 word title

It's extremely frustrating to have to waste space making the card extra wide just to display the title correctly

This is an helpful idea.
Please add "the ability to wrap text in Legend text"
These funtions will make a huge difference. Thanks Power BI Team for your support!

Power BI provide the ability to increase and change font on Titles but does not allow to wrap.

It really is the simple things that make a huge difference in usability. I have two cards that I cannot adequate explain what the data means because I don't have enough horizontal real estate, I have plenty of vertical space.
