If you have long names on a bar chart Y-Axis they get truncated. This is a problem if you have ones that start with something similar. Could we have a word wrap option on the format menu that takes advantage of the vertical space so the whole label can be shown.

Seems like a small thing, but without this feature it's really hard to chart survey data or anything that requires long labels for a bar chart. I would really like to see this implemented, so we can make better use of the tons of likert data we're currently dealing with.

Continues to be quite a pain that the titles are truncated, not very user friendly, so please implement!

Hope this would apply to any other charts. This is very important and extremely useful.

The tree map is great but so much wasted space without word wrap!

This is particularly problematic for legends

This is indeed a basic functionality that should be available in Power BI Desktop.
