There's some kind of serious confusion in this bug report. The text that is displayed to the right of the "Value Menu" button is not the doc string, it's the textual description of the current value. Therefore, it makes no sense at all to start that text on a new line. I also don't see how filling of any kind can make the situation better when the textual description is too long. Reading the discussions, I think they were mostly based on the above misunderstanding, so I think we should either close this bug, or maybe start discussing it anew, after forgetting everything that was said and suggested, because none of that makes sense to me.
