Hi,  
I have a problem with kibana 6.5.4 text wrapping.

When I click on Visualize - xxx table, text wrapping works correctly and puts my string text as follows.

March 4th  
2019

Insert same table to dashboard - wrapping seems to be all over the place, typically as follows.

March 4th 201  
9

Is this something wrong with Kibana or just my incompetence and a specific setting that I have missed?

Hi Chris! Thanks for posting on our forum. From your description, I think you've found a bug. Normally when people report bugs I first try to reproduce them and then create an issue on our GitHub repo to track it. However, I just tried to reproduce what you described but I wasn't able to.

Here's a screenshot of a data table visualization in Kibana 6.5.4.:

Here's the same visualization inside of a dashboard:

In both cases it looks like the text is wrapping on each word, instead of mid-word. Am I missing something? Could you share screenshots to help me repro?

Thanks,  
CJ

Sorry, I had to sensor most of the text out, although it's in Finnish.

- All of the dates are wrapped perfectly

- Newline doesn't start mid sentence

- Dashboard shows last date number in different line

- Multiple mid word wrappings

Cheers / Chris

I'm terribly sorry, I had the same table in visualize for export, but also in dashboard as a Search.

- The problem is that I can't still find my way around problem where I want a table with text that has word wrapping and doesn't have count visible. =/
