Using line break in a NAV Button text field.

I have a navigation button and within the text section I use a measure which is basically just combing two text fields together. I currently use UNICHAR(10) to create a line break between the two texts and the desired output works fine when it's used in a card. 

 

However for some reason it does not work within the nav button text field.

 

Measure:  _col_01 & UNICHAR(10) & " " & UNICHAR(10) & _col_02

Output to Card:

"Status

 

Okay"

 

Output to Nav Button text:

"Status Okay"

Hi @Ben1981 as far as I'm aware the only way to cause word wrap is resize the visual.
Slight hacky way would be make the button see through, put a text box/card behind it with the wrapped text.
That way when the click the text they actually click the see though button.

Hex code for see through is "#FFFFFF00" or turn the button background and fill off.

Hope this helps!
