Thank you for using Timeline. The problem that you describe is the designed
behavior in the Standard Event Painter. Wrapping of long titles would cause an
event to overlap with events that are painted on the next track below.
Solutions/Workarounds that you can use:
1) Use shorter event labels. Eg "1910-1920" not "Between 1910 and 1920"
2) Use the caption property to provide the more detailed info. The caption
shows on mouse hover. See
http://code.google.com/p/simile-widgets/wiki/Timeline_EventSources
3. Make the label font smaller. This can be done with CSS.
4. If you are a programmer, you can change the source of the event painter to
implement the behavior that you'd like.
