Description

### Expected behavior

Just like maxWidth cuts off the content in the legend for positions left & right, I expect maxHeigh to work too.
Just like maxHeight cuts off the content in the legend for positions top & bottom, I expect maxWidth to work too.

Ideally, the content is never cut off though, it should reflow as best as it can. See generic legend bug: #10893

### Current behavior

The maxWidth and maxHeight properties do nothing in the scenarios described above.
