Description
Hi all,
my System: Ubuntu 14.04 / Windows 7 64bit, QGIS 2.14.3 / QGIS Master
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 (see attached screenshot). But in the map the wordwrap will not be displayed. I add demo data.
Regards
Burghardt

Works fine here:
1. load attached project
2. change label expression to wordwrap("name", 15)
3. labels show correctly as wrapped
Can you retest or post extra steps to reproduce please!

I'm very confused .-(. It does not work for me furthermore. I also use the current master version with Windows 7 (code revision f1ec121). I did my tests on several computers (W7, Ubuntu 14.04). I must be doing something wrong. Are my settings correct (see attached screenshot)?

Ah - i see the issue. Don't enter the expression as a data defined wrap character, that's a totally different thing. Instead just enter it in the "label with" box.

Oh my god - I am ashamed. You are right. I already thought that I have misunderstood something. Thank you very much for the valuable tip.
