Description

Hi !

When you enter an expression that has a very long result (eg. geomToWKT( $geometry ) with complex geometries ), the expression builder dialog gets extremely wide (way beyond the screen) because the text doesn't wrap and is displayed completely.
It's annoying because you can't see the OK/Cancel buttons anymore.

Tested under Windows 8.1 and QGIS nightly.

I think the result should be limited to maybe 100 characters ?

Thanks

Thanks !

So enabling wrapping is the correct option that would work here?
