Summary of the Pull Request

This PR addresses an accessibility and usability issue in the Command Palette details pane when the system text size is set to 225%. Previously, the details text did not wrap, causing horizontal scrolling and making the content difficult to read. With this fix, the details text should wrap, improving readability and accessibility for users with large text settings.

Please review

Unless my two second review is incorrect, CommandBar.xaml doesn't contain any code for the Details pane. Pretty sure that's in ShellPage.xaml

[SabhyaAggarwal]

Hey @zadjii-msft! I understand so I reverted that CommandBar.xaml change and I saw in ShellPage.xaml that it was doing Wrap whole words but links are counted as one so I added a good ol' plain wrap just for hyperlinks.

[SabhyaAggarwal]

@zadjii-msft could you get this tested and approved

[crutkas]

@niels9001 can you take a look quickly

[niels9001]

LGTM!

[SabhyaAggarwal]

Thanks a lot @crutkas and @niels9001 for approving my first PR

[SabhyaAggarwal]

@niels9001 Why hasn't this been merged

[zadjii-msft]

This doesn't even compile.

[SabhyaAggarwal]

How doesn’t it compile

[SabhyaAggarwal]

@zadjii-msft it should compile

[zadjii-msft]

Did you build the Micrsoft.UI.CmdPal project?

When I tried to test this change locally, I got:

5>D:\dev\public\pt\src\modules\cmdpal\Microsoft.CmdPal.UI\Pages\ShellPage.xaml(94,25): XamlCompiler error WMC0011: Unknown member 'TextWrapping' on element 'HyperlinkButton'

[SabhyaAggarwal]

It should work as TextWrapping definetely works in WinUI

[SabhyaAggarwal]

@zadjii-msft Wait, now try compiling

[SabhyaAggarwal]

@zadjii-msft I have fixed it now and it should work

[SabhyaAggarwal]

I just synced my fork and spell check is going off???

[SabhyaAggarwal]

Again!!!!!!!

[SabhyaAggarwal]

@niels9001 can you approve this code

[SabhyaAggarwal]

Plz approve @niels9001(sorry for pinging).

[zadjii-msft]

This still doesn't actually fix the issue:

The text of the hyperlink buttons still doesn't wrap.

Please make sure to actually build and test your proposed fixes before sending a PR. Just guessing at fixes wastes everyone's time.
