Hello,

I noticed a problem in wxPropertyGrid (wxWidgets 3.3.1 on Windows 11, Visual C/C++) that can be reproduced with the propgrid example.

The problem occurs when selecting a property with a relatively long help text:

If the window is resized smaller, the help text is correctly wrapped and adapted to the new size. However, when the window is resized larger again, the help text does not re-expand to fit the increased width.

Thanks,
Claudio

I can indeed reproduce this with "ArrayDoubleProperty". I'm not sure how exactly is help text wrapped in wxPG and don't have time to look at this now, but it should probably be rather simple to fix by just rewrapping it when the size increases too.
