Text Won't Wrap in the "AutoCAD Text Window"

When I click on an object to retrieve it's extended data, the data keeps writing to the right, it does not return to the next line, when the text approches the end of the screen.  Very difficult to analyze information.

 

Anyone know of a setting?  I've attached a screen shot to explain my dilemma.

I dont know any variable is controlling this.

But if you drag/resize the command line and place as floating, that will work

 

Looks like the size of command line controls the length of line.

It wraps if you use lisp (in this case anyway).

AutoCAD MEP 2024 still has this behavior and your princ hack is the only thing that seems to work.  I have no idea why.

Thank you.
