Enable word wrap with event titles on calendar

My version of Thunderbird was recently automatically updated to version 91.2.0. Event titles no longer wrap within individual event boxes in the "Week" version of the calendar display as they did in previous versions in the default calendar-display settings. Instead, they are truncated to the width of the event box, and everything beyond the first few words is replaced by an ellipsis ("..."). How does one enable word wrap in this version of Thunderbird? This program is not terribly useful to me unless it can provide my with a snapshot of my weekly schedule at a glance, and the scant few characters that appear before the ellipsis are seldom sufficient to provide a good description of the event.

I have the same problem. I tried downgrading to 90.0b3 but then I would have to setup new accounts and that I did not try. The same problem is still at 91.0.1, although this bug (in my opinion it is a bug) appeared to me only with the last update two days ago. When setting view_source.wrap_long_lines to true this did not help either. Any other ideas? Thank you very much!

Now it works again! Thank you to everybody who made this possible. My version is now 91.4.1 and word wrap in the events of thunderbird work again. All the best Edgar
