limitation on visible characters per cell (110 characters)
Comments

I have never run into this limitation. I use several hundred frequently and word wrap always displays them all. The Smartsheet help page on cell content says that a cell can hold up to 4000 characters. I do run into a limitation of how many characters can be in a sheet name now and then. Try reloading your Smartsheet browser tab--something sounds wrong.

As Jim said, you can have up to 4000 characters in a cell and they all can be present (see my test below).
Could you show us a screenshot of how you have text wrapped enabled and column width expanded and it only shows a section of your text?

thanks Travis and Jim for your responses. I believe I found the glitch, I believe it is occurring when your text does not have any spaces. Wrap text does not activate.
See below:
Values in the cell (without any spaces)

Yes, you are correct! The wrap tool needs spaces in order to split up text to multiple lines.

That explains why I can't wrap my website links. Thanks.

So... is there a workaround (or FIX) for this issue?
I've encountered the same (issue/shortcoming/bug/glitch/#FAIL) with cells containing long strings - word wrap does not work, and there appears to be a maximum limit to the width of columns. Clicking into the cell is not a solution since in my case the string is generated by a formula (formula itself is displayed, but I need to be able to view the result of that formula).
