How can I wrap text in a text box in draw.io?

Question

I have a text box, and when I enter text it flows as one long line. How can I make it wrap? There is a video on YouTube, but it is not clear what the text to enter is.

This is the video referred to; the style text is:

html=1;whiteSpace=wrap

The latest version in production doesn't require this, you select Text → Word Wrap on the menu instead.

For me this was checking the box resizable under Style → Property.

Since the above answer did not work for me, I am answering here.

After clicking on a text box, select the right hand menu tab called STYLE.
Under this menu tab, expand the Property | Value submenu (see screenshot). 
Click on the Text Overflow option that is currently selected (likely hidden or visible). 
Select the fill or width option and voila - it should wrap properly!
