We’ll leave the bug in community status. After the bug gets enough votes, somebody (else) at Adobe will have a look at the issue and see if it is a bug or if that is expected behavior.

Actually, another solution may be to something like the following:

<mx:LinearAxis id="yAxis" title="% of e-mail users accessing e-mail{'\\n'}eight or more times per month" />

Thanks for you help and quick replies! Do I need to close that bug now, or will someone at Adobe do that?

Thanks a lot. I commented on the bug with two possible workarounds:

attached workaround.mxml with two possible workarounds.

workaround #1 — define the axis title in ActionScript:

[Bindable]
public var str:String = "% of e-mail users accessing e-mail" + "\\n" + "eight or more times per month";

workaround#2 — define the axis title in MXML using <mx:String />:

<mx:String id="str">% of e-mail users accessing e-mail
eight or more times per month</mx:String>

Finally, assign the title title to the LinearAxis using binding:

<mx:verticalAxis>
    <mx:LinearAxis id="yAxis" title="{str}" />
</mx:verticalAxis>

Interesting, can you please file a bug at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex/ (please include a simple test case, if possible — it makes it a lot easier) and post the bug number here and a few of us here can subscribe and/or vote.

Thanks,
Peter

The strings I’ve tried are…

“% of e-mail users accessing e-mail eight or more times per month”
“% of e-mail users accessing e-mail\neight or more times per month”
“% of e-mail users accessing e-mail<br>eight or more times per month”

…but each still displays on a single line.
