Line chart visual: X-axis labels plot differently sometimes

Hello,
I am having trouble with labels. As I have highlighted on the picture, the problem is that some month labels are plotted in one line, and some of them in two lines.
That looks ugly and unprofessional.  Just see below:

Any ideas? I tried manipulating with Category width and Maximum size controls with no effect 😞

Sorry, maybe I did not make it clear enough!

As I have highlighted on the picture, the problem is that some month labels are plotted in one line, and some of them in two lines.
That looks ugly and unprofessional. Is there anything we can do about it? Also I do not understand the logic behind this.

 

Hope I explained now, I am sorry for my language, not my native.

Check in the format tab for X-axis and do some settings changes like type" Continous" or "categorical" and change the font settings & text size as per your need.

Hi,
When I tried to changed from Categorical to Continous, it switches back immediately. 
When I made the font bigger, it looks like this now:

I can make the minimum category width bigger but then I lack space and the scroll-bar appears (cannot be):

I guess the "jul 2019" is the shortest one and even with the minimum category width set to minimum is able to plot in one line.
Also all of this is changing  when I change fonts, but I would like to use this one.
Any other ideas? 🙂

Thank you. I hope there will be more control over that in the future.
