Export to excel truncates text to 255 characters - is this a feature or a bug - is there a workaround?

weird, I just tested in my QB on a multiline field.  I added 2,200 characters to the field and saved as spreadsheet.

When I open the exported excel sheet, the cell is truncated but once I double click that cell, all 2,200 characters are shown.

Silly question, but have you selected the Excel cell and formatted to Wrap Text?
