Should be nice to have multiline checkbox (probably, as property
WordWrap). Delphi invoked it a long time ago.
Currently, I use a workaround in OnActivate:
  SetWindowLong(MyCheckbox.Handle,
GWL_STYLE,GetWindowLong(MyCheckbox.Handle, GWL_STYLE) OR
BS_MULTILINE);
But with this approach, I see result only in runtime.
Thank you,
Mahris

Did you try to click the small button on the right of Caption field in
Object Inspector and edit the multiline text in Strings Editor Dialog?
This way it shows me the multiline caption of checkbox also at design
time. (I am on Linux+Qt).

Tried, on Windows 64. Entered multiline text is joined and displayed
in a single line at designtime and runtime.

So it depends on widgetset. See here:

Agree, depend. It is the reason I posted it it suggestions, not bugs.
And it is extremely easy to implement it in Windows.
I already do it in my OnActivate.
