[Qgis-user] Label Formatting - Wrap on character with "wordwrap"

[Burghardt.Scholle at stadt.wolfsburg.de]

Hi all,

my System: Ubuntu 14.04, QGIS 2.8.7 / 2.14.2

I want label a layer with long attribute values. The label should wrap after a number of characters. For this I use the function "wordwarp" in the expression string builder (e.g. "wordwrap("name", 15)"). In the output preview the wordwrap is displayed correctly. But in the map all the words with less than (e.g.) 15 characters will be hidden and the wordwrap will not be displayed.
Am I doing something wrong? Can anyone give me a hint?

Best regards
Burghardt
