Symptoms
On a list view with approx. 20 columns there was a certain "clipping" of the text even though "Wrap Text" functionality had been enabled.
Diagnoses
The view width was just too small.
Resolution
Changing the view width from 100% to 15000px and then resizing all of the individual columns to fit their entries appropriately ended the clipping issue. Note that it did take a bit of trial and error to get the sizing correct.
