There is a .Data.WordWrap, and it works, but the Height of the cell 
(row) doesn't adapt automagically, and it is nearly impossible to find 
out the necessary row height. When I use -1, it ends in an overflow. 
With column width, however, this trick has worked for many years.

And yes, I guess I could install gb.qt5.ext from the repo, as I 
installed Gambas from the Team repo. I will have to try later. Do you 
think the package is gb.qt5.ext?
