Description

Missing feature
The title of the toolbar is truncated with ellipsize when the user increases the font size from the system settings for accessibility reasons.
Truncated texts do not comply with accessibility guidelines.

Desiderata behavior
The title of the toolbar should wrap to the next line when it takes up more lines.

Research direction

Start at the MaterialToolbar entry point and trace how its title is measured and rendered when the system font size is increased. Reproduce the issue with a large accessibility font, then verify that long titles remain fully readable by wrapping instead of being truncated.
