Describe the feature

For people using large fonts due to vision issues (my spouse), and those using smaller or lower-resolution phones like the Unihertz Jelly Star (me), it would be helpful to allow the text descriptions in settings to occupy multiple lines. See attached example from my phone.

Thanks!

Hi @sanctimoniousape,

That's a great suggestion! Unfortunately, android does not provide that option out of the box for the PreferenceScreen, but I'll see if there is any way of overriding or extending it

Wow, really? That's an OS-level limitation? That kinda blows my mind in this day and age. I haven't programmed for a couple decades, but it just feels like some things are going just as much backwards as others are going forwards. Those who don't learn from history, and all that...

Well, thanks for letting me know - I hope you're able to find a way, but even if you're not I still appreciate your willingness to look into it. Thanks again!
