The screenshot that @SkyzohKey uploaded seems to be gone, so I guess it was something like the following screenshot.

The A1 cell text is too long that it is overlapped to the left cell.

Also, if there is some text in the next cell, the spilled cell text is still shown and the two texts are overlapped.

I was curious about how other spreadsheet apps address text wrapping, so I searched a little.

Unfortunately, I can't see how about Excel (the desktop app), because I don't have it. Instead, I checked in Excel Online because I think how to handle text wrapping is essentially the same in Excel and Excel Online.

In Excel Online, the long text is not wrapped and spilled out to the right cell. However, selecting "Wrap Text" wraps spilled text.

Also, if the next cell has some text, the spilled text is hidden.

LibreOffice also handles wrapping text in the same way.

So, I think it's OK to spill out long texts by default, but we may want to:

  • provide an option to wrap long texts
  • hide the spilled text if there is some text in the next cell

as other spreadsheet apps do?

Sounds good to me 👍 When doubting about things like that, I think it is generally a good idea to just follow what other apps does, as it is probably what is expected.
