How do I make nodes grow in height based on the word-wrapped contents?

+1 vote
I have set all of my nodes to a width of 150.  I have entered a lot of text in their labels.  I then set all of the nodes' properties to label->size->fit node width and label->size->cropping.  I have file->preferences->editor->dynamically adjust node size to label size checked.  I then tools->fitnode to label and check ignore width and make sure ignore height is unchecked.  I then hit okay and my labels still overflow their nodes.

Is there a way I can have all my nodes X width, and then have all their heights fluctuate based on the label (which needs to be set to wrap words automatically)?  From reading through this site, I thought my above steps would solve it, but it isn't.  What am I doing wrong?  Is height-adjustable nodes with word wrapping not supported in yEd?

The "Fit Node to Label" tool supports height adjustments for configuration "Cropping" and size "Fit Node Width" as of yEd 3.14.3.

Perfect!  I just tested it.  You guys are great!
Is there a way to automatically fit the node to the height of the label?

Unfortunately, the "Fit Node to Label" tool currently does not support height adjustments for configuration "Cropping" and size "Fit Node Width".

Is there an alternate strategy that would provide a similar result?  (A fixed or maximum width with flexible height?  Preferably with automatic word wrapping?)
I am afraid, no. Currently, there is no workaround for this shortcoming in yEd.
