3000 character long string doesn't wrap in indicator if in courier font!?

[BobENose]

using Labivew 6.1:
On a frontpanel string indicator, an uninterrupted string of 3000 characters fails to wrap around in the text box if the font is courier (a nice fixed-width font), but it works fine in arial or the default application font. ... but doesn't work fine in terminal, or fixedsys or any other type of courier. Why would truetype or non-truetype fonts behave differently when it comes to TEXT WRAPPING !??

confused...

I am confused too. It could be a bug and it has not been fixed in LV7beta. If you use some style such as "bold", the characters are able to wrap around.

I have had the same problem and have resorted to inserting line feeds
into the string to that is displays correctly.
