ArcGIS Pro - Wrapping Legend Title

Question

Hello,

I cant seem to get the Legend Title in ArcGIS Pro to wrap.  I have changed the resize behavior to "adjust columns" and checked the wrapping box in the Element:Legend pane.

Everything wraps correctly as far as my legend elements go, but as soon as I add a Legend Title thats too long, it doesnt wrap and basically hides everything in my legend.

Is this a bug or have I just not found the correct setting to control this?  Legend titles always seemed a little sketchy even back in ArcMap, but I could usually get them to wrap correctly with some fiddling.  In ArcGIS Pro this doesnt seem to be the case.

I have attached 2 screenshots showing how when I have a short legend title, everything is fine, and another screenshot showing how the title refuses to wrap, and subsequently destroys my legend.

Any tips?

Another option you can do is copy the title  and paste it and fix it.

One thing you can do is insert a line break...

As an example, say I have a really long legend and want it to be broken into three lines, in the Title box you type the lines like this, by hitting enter after each line:

I have a really long legend

and want it to be broken

into three lines

Not really an answer to your problem, but a solution nonetheless:

-Uncheck the 'show title' box to get rid of title

-Remove background symbol (color)

-Insert a Rectangle Graphics to serve as your legend background (leave extra space at top for Title)

-Insert Rectangle Text box for title. Now you can simply hit enter when editing text to create multiple lines

*An easy solution you may have overlooked, but this makes it so that you can get your word wrapping and not have to convert to a graphic. Sometimes it's easier to do workarounds than try to work through ArcPro issues.
