It would be helpful to have the ability to set maximum row height for the cells in a column so that resizing the column cannot put he grid in an undesirable state, with one row taking up the entire grid. If a column has text in it with word wrapping enabled, when the column gets narrow, the wrapping makes the cell grow vertically as much as it needs to display everything. If the column is made very narrow, soon that row will be the only row in the grid. I don't think a user would ever want this to occur. If the maximum height could be specified, then it would be possible to prevent the grid from ever getting in this rather broken state. Ellipses, or some other indicator, should show when the content is truncated because the dimensions of the cell are too small to show the entire content.
Hello Mark,
We are declining this request due to low interest and demand. If it turns to be popular in the future we will reconsider the status.
