Matrix Word Wrap ongoing issues

Still having issues with the matrix word wrap.. are there any updates?  We were thinking it would be fixed by now.

 

We have existing matrix grids.. that at some point in the whole word wrap saga we were able to get the word wrapping to work.  We also have some grids that we were never able to get the word wrap to work... although the settings are exactly the same.

 

Now if we touch the grids that are working and add a column.. the grid looses all the word wrapping and are unable to get the word wrapping to work again.  If you Cntrl-Z and backout your changes the grid will go back to word wrapping again.

@Anonymous,

 

Based on my test, you'll need to manually adjust the width again.

We did manually re-adjust the widths.. but they don't stay.  If you switch to an other page and come back all the formating is gone.

@Anonymous,

 

I can not reproduce the issue with the latest version.

Sorry been gone all week... we are using latest version as well.  We will work on creating a test report to show the issue - who should we send this too?

Might have stumbled upon a work around when you have columns over values anyway.  In our case, we are using year.

We have several grids that work and several that don't ...

 

We discovered if we delete all the values off of the grid and re-add them.. Then the word wrap works.

Having the same issues and I am also on latest release.

I have the same issue and I'm on the September 2017 release of Power BI.

 

Any word wrap on a Matrix will reset itself if I switch to another tab.  This is very frustrating.
