Wrap text in a cell in Excel doesn't work in BIRT 4.6.0

I have two Birt Eclipse installed on my computer - 2.6.2 and 4.6.0. For each installation, I create a test report. In each test report I create a grid with 5 columns and 1 row. I place a label with a long text in the first column expecting that this text will be wrapped in the exported Excel file. The label Whitespace parameter set to "Auto" in both cases (I also tried "Normal").
 
In the resulting Excel file, the text is wrapped correctly in Birt 2.6.2

Hello,
I'm working with BIRT 4.4.2 so i'm not sure the proposed solution works on version 4.6 too.
however, if you set the whitspece attribute of the label to "Preformatted" you should obtain the desired result.
you can do the same thing for the other items.
