Description

The label widget is currently a single line, which is a serious limitation. #391 was a draft PR to add this, but a more robust solution is to have support for multiline text layouts at the piet level. https://github.com/linebender/piet/pull/103 is a work-in-progress PR to add that. This issue tracks support in druid for when that lands in piet.

Research direction
The issue depends on PR #103 in the piet repository for multiline text layout support. Once that lands, druid's label widget can be updated. Review the existing draft PR #391 for initial direction. Engage with maintainers to understand the timeline and if assistance is needed on the piet PR.
