Long quest objectives truncated instead of word wrapped. [wotlk]

Long quest objectives are truncated instead of word wrapped, partially obfuscating the objective text and completely hiding the progression tracker, which negates any benefit to having on screen tracking as the quest log needs to be manually referenced to obtain this information.

This is an old issue... there's no great way to wrap the objective text. You'll need to make your tracker wider. Just re-posting from the last few times this was brought up. (=

Personally... I run my tracker on the left of the screen, so that I can stretch the longer text. I hate the placement on the right since it doesn't allow the text space to grow into.

That seems like a weak excuse. I don't see any reason that a character limit setting couldn't be added and that line breaks could be implemented at the players chosen limit. Unless you're telling me basic string manipulation doesn't exist in LUA.

No worries @RangerFrank it is totally possible and @Logonz already started on a solution.

So it's on our list (just like many other Tracker improvements/fixing of regressions). Atm we are full focus on quest fixes though, as that is the core of Questie and hence has the highest priority! We are making good progress so I hope we can start working on other things again soon ™️

@BreakBB hey sorry to butt in, but may I suggest an alternative? I was playing around with "Kaliel's Tracker" and it has a toggle that moves the N/N (number counter) part of the text to the beginning of the string. I found it quite nice to read and would tangentially alleviate the issue mentioned here.
