I have made a data table in Kibana however long lines of text (stored as a keyword) are truncated and do not completely show (view image below). I have changed the table height setting within the advanced settings to 0 and it has not made a difference. Is there any way I may stop the cell truncation and have the text wrap to a new line? Or is there anything else I can do to make the text appear in full?

Hey @rak, this is a known limitation of our new datatable visualization. You can switch to the old one by applying `vis_type_table.legacyVisEnabled: true` to your config.yml.  
Meanwhile we are working to fix this problem to the new implementation too
