I don't see an issue here--cell/row height direct formatting should be
detached from "Wrap text automatically" Cell formatting of the style.

Apply the "Optimal Row Height" direct formatting from Format -> Row ->
Optimal Height or the context menu.  Likewise for direct formatting of the
Column width from Format or context menu. 

I don't get how they could be detached as automatic increasing of height is
the main point of wrapping. Or do you propose to remove the height
increasing functionality entirely, so the text would wrap horizontally when
typing, but go out of sight vertically while displaying the red triangle?


Testing sample document with current master/6.2.0, the documents sheet presents
a "default" Cell Style without "Wrap text automatically" enabled.

Meaning the example cell *is* under Direct Formatting to wrap its text.

Modify the default style to include the wrap text automatically, and apply it
(the Update Style on the content panel).  Alignment/wrap within the cells is
picked up from the style as opposed to the direct formatting.

And, with the change to Cell Style, all other cells being entered will wrap
within their Column width as set, shifting height--the desired behavior.

Beyond the row height response when the Sytle to wrap text is enabled, IIUC
controlling column width and row height is not done by any cell style and so
any change to set "Optimal Height / Optimal Width" are Direct Formatting of the
selected cells or columns/rows. 

So again, I don't see an issue here (other than our on going challenge of
educating users (and QA members) about styles vs direct formatting)--but I
could be wrong.

I've no concern with taking this back through UX-Advise, but the behavior seems
correct IMHO.
