Yeah, I saw that, but this isn't the same thing. I'm referring to a side effect of sticking a report into a dashboard reportlet. The metric columns wrap the text correctly in the report itself, but they don't wrap and are cut off when put into the reportlet.
The column headers showing the tracked value can be truncated.
Business impact:
If you have multiple items in a trended report the values being reported on can be unintelligible, making the reportlet useless. There appears to be no work around.
The older postings show this as implemented in pre-14.7 versions of the dashboards. It is apparently not imiplemented in the current version of the dashboards. See the screen shot above.
