The white ring around labels is gone
A label carries a thin outline in the colour of the surface behind its glyphs — that is what keeps it
readable where it crosses a grid line. The outline was being drawn in the page background colour, but a
label sitting in a coloured cell has that cell's tint behind it, not the page. Every label in a coloured
cell therefore wore a white ring, which reads as a drop shadow rather than as separation.
The outline is now the colour actually behind the text, resolved per line, so it disappears against its
own background and only shows where it is doing its job.
Long labels wrap instead of running off the chart
Free text was drawn as one unsplittable line and never clipped. A long label simply ran off both edges —
a 567-character label came out 3291px wide in a 1400px export, with about two thirds of it outside the
canvas. This affected the canvas, the SVG export and the PNG/JPG export alike.
Labels now wrap. The width limit is a new setting, Maximum label width, at 80% of the plot area by
default. It is a percentage rather than a pixel count so the same rule holds in a narrow pane and in a
full-size export, and changing it redraws the charts you have open.
The clickable area, the label's background plate, its outline box and the selection box all grow with the
wrapped block, so a three-line label behaves like a three-line label rather than only responding on its
first line.
No format change. Cell notes still wrap to the cell width and remain the better home for a paragraph.
