With the MacOSX backend, the available space appears to be fixed size and long text wraps and becomes unreadable even though the window width might be able to accommodate more text without wrapping.\r\n\r\n**Code for reproduction**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A minimum code snippet required to reproduce the bug, also minimizing the number of dependencies required--\u003e\r\n\r\n```python\r\nfrom matplotlib import pyplot as plt\r\nfrom math import pi, sin\r\n\r\nN = 30\r\nx = [n/N for n in range(5*N)]\r\ny = [sin(i*pi) for i in x]\r\n\r\nax = plt.figure().add_subplot(1, 1, 1)\r\nax.format_coord = lambda x, y : 'the x-coordinate = ' + format(x, '1.4f') + ', ' + \\\r\n                                ' and the y-coordinate = ' + format(y, '1.4f')\r\nplt.plot(x, y)\r\nplt.show()\r\n```\r\n\r\n**Actual outcome**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--The output produced by the above code, which may be a screenshot, console output, etc.--\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cimg width=\"752\" alt=\"small messagebox\" src=\"https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/36115336/35771859-76e1458c-0901-11e8-9def-20ac3430d008.png\"\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n**Expected outcome**\r\n\r\n\u003c!--A description of the expected outcome from the code snippet--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If this used to work in an earlier version of Matplotlib, please note the version it used to work on--\u003e\r\nI don't know if the behavior was different in earlier versions. I do know that the behavior is more \"sensible\" in the TkAgg backend. I haven't tested other backends. In TkAgg the available space expands as the window width expands.\r\n\r\n**Matplotlib version**\r\n\u003c!--Please specify your platform and versions of the relevant libraries you are using:--\u003e\r\n  * Operating system: Mac OS X 10.13.3 (High Sierra)\r\n  * Matplotlib version: 2.1.1\r\n  * Matplotlib backend (`print(matplotlib.get_backend())`): MacOSX\r\n  * Python version: 3.6.4\r\n  * Jupyter version (if applicable): n/a\r\n  * Other libraries:\r\n\r\n\u003c!--Please tell us how you installed matplotlib and python e.g., from source, pip, conda--\u003e\r\n\u003c!--If you installed from conda, please specify which channel you used if not the default--\u003e\r\nInstalled Python from installer downloaded from python.org.
