Description

Originally by michaelvogt


Right now, header cell content is styled to not wrap to the next line when the text is too long to fit in the width of the column.

Sometimes it is necessary to make sure the full text is always shown. For this Grid header should allow to set rowspan and let the text wrap.

Research direction

Start by locating the Grid header cell styling and the code that handles header row spans. Check how long header text is currently prevented from wrapping. Done means a Grid header can configure a rowspan and display its full content across wrapped lines, with the relevant behavior verified by the existing test suite.
