Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Currently, when a string is too long to fit onto a single line, the rest is cut off and as far as I'm aware there is no way to display it.
This is mainly issue with gcode filenames - names generated by slicers tend to be very long, containing information about nozzle size, material and expected print time.
Describe the solution you propose.
Proposed solution 1: allow the text to linebreak if it was to reach the end of the display
This would probably cause issues with the list command.
Proposed solution 2: horizontally scroll any text whose width (calculated from font dimensions) exceeds the user provided with (w command)
The text could cycle through sitting still for a few seconds, than slowly scrolling left until the end is reached, after which the animation resets. A similar implementation is used on older Prusas (i3-mk3s)
