There appears to be a problem with this script - it causes multiple events on a day to display overlapped (at least, in month view). See http://www.txbarnes.com/gCalBug.jpg (far bottom right day) for an example.
Turning off the text overlapping resolves the issue.

Great script, I wonder why this isn't a default setting in google calendar.

Additional info on bug below - seems to only occur if the event is a multi-day event. Cheers.

Found a bug:
If you have a full day event that wraps, it will cover the next item on that day if you are in month view. Otherwise, I love it. Cheers.

I figured out that I needed greasemonkey and got it to work fairly well with my calendars in Firefox, but everything still gets cut off in IE, in my embedded calendars at my website, and when printing. So while it is a little helpful it is far from solving all the problems. It is hard to believe Google is so oblivious to this obvious huge shortcoming.

Yes, please fix this script. Doesn't work for apointments!

How to make this script function? I am embedding my calendar in my web page with an iframe tag, and I want the events to wrap. I tried adding this script to my page with a script tag, but text still doesn't wrap.

Can someone post some instructions? Thanks!

Appointments can't seem to have more than 3 lines. I also see it lets the event name run down from one week onto to the day below it if there are enough events. Still, a very good idea. I'd like it if it filled the day, and shorted itself as needed.

This works fine for all day events but appointments are cut off.
