Not sure how long this has been there, but today we discovered the "commandLink" button type in the button style attributes.  It looks very nice!

Question 1: This button type is supported in both GDC and GBC (see attached), however, the GBC rendering does not provide the description.  Is there a way to make the description visible in GBC?

Question 2: Is there a way to control the width of the button?  The problem we have is if the description is too long, it will just keep spanning horizontally in a single line.  We would like to limit the maximum width if possible, and any remaining text should wrap onto the next line.

... I strongly encourage all senior developers to re-read these every so often just to remind yourself what else has been introduced into the product base over the years.

For your other questions,

QuoteIs there a way to make the description visible in GBC?

Hover your mouse over the button, although that raises question how you do that with a tablet!

I'm not sure why the GBC wouldn't have followed the Microsoft standard here, although looking at Material Design notes on button, https://material.io/guidelines/components/buttons.html# it doesn't really cater for that case. 

It is the type of thing that would be a good GBC customisation exercise if you really wanted to display the description

did you experiment adding a back-slash n into your comment attribute to force a line break?

Otherwise, SIZEPOLICY=FIXED vs SIZEPOLICY=DYNAMIC was my initial thought, although a quick play suggests it wasn't being taken into account.
