Google Doc Spreadsheet Doesn't Wrap Text When Editing

When I edit text in a cell, the editor forces all the text to a single line. When I exit the cell it goes back to wrapping just fine, but its annoying that when I double click on the cell it expands it out and puts my cursor at the end of the cell. I would rather it keep it the same and put my cursor in line where I clicked like it does in excel. Here is what I'm talking about:

If anyone has any ideas on how to get this desired behavior, let me know.

Why is my text wrapping not working in Google Sheets?

If text wrap is not working, this may be due to a couple of things. The most common reason that text wrapping does not work as expected, is when your column is too wide for the spreadsheet to wrap the text, even if "Wrap" is applied.

How do you fix text wrap in Google Docs?

Right-click the image and then click Image options. This will bring the Image options menu. In Image options, go to the Text Wrapping tab. You can see the different text wrapping settings here.

The most I've gotten is to prevent the cell to expand to the maximum, doing the wrapper manually (Ctrl+Enter). Upon returning to the cell, the wrap is maintained.
