That's the problem, I tried using setPadding, setRight and other stupid methods, but they won't help.
I need the text to go to new lines when display limits has reached, so, please help me.
It seems to have place only if I use as Target, Target.NONE, other times, when I use some button and etc, the lines go down as they should and everything ok, but I need this intro text to show up for a first time without any specific elements selected.
I solved the problem through adding a child view to ShowCaseView.
UPD,
I've been asked to share the solution, so I'll share with all code that I use.
Here's my complete code as to using ShowCaseView:
I use a Fragment to show it, therefore I don't need to copy code in every time, also I made some improvements to make life easier using it:
frShowCase.java:

View additional_view = null;

}
}, 50);
}

Here is a class for targets I use to pass Targets from Activities to that Fragment
xShowCaseTargets.java
import com.github.amlcurran.showcaseview.targets.Target;
/**
* Created by Movsar Bekaev on 15/09/2015.
*/
public class xSchowCaseTarget{
protected cbActivity.position b_pos = cbActivity.position.BOTTOM_RIGHT;
protected Target target = null;
protected String title = "";
protected String description = "";
protected boolean use_splashscreen = false;
public xSchowCaseTarget(Target target, String title, String desc, cbActivity.position position, Boolean useSplash) {
this.b_pos = position;
this.target = target;
this.title = title;
this.description = desc;
this.use_splashscreen = useSplash;
}
public xSchowCaseTarget(Target target, String title, String desc, cbActivity.position position) {
this.b_pos = position;
this.target = target;
this.title = title;
this.description = desc;
this.use_splashscreen = false;
}
}
This is the xml for custom layout for ShowCaseView to use when default one won't do his job (text go off from the screen, button not there where it should be and etc.)
showcase_text.xml
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

As to cbActivity.BoolFromPref(getLocalClassName(), false) - I use shared preferences to check whether or not this Activity has been started, so this line checks this value, also in Fragment's code you see blocking all views of layout while presentation, if you don't need it - don't call that.
If you need to use custom view, you add "true" when creating a Target like this:
svElements.add(new xSchowCaseTarget(Target.NONE, getString(R.string.welcome), getString(R.string.welcome_text), position.FILL_BOTTOM, true));
And the last thing is, the cbActivity - mybase class for Activities, I use it here as reference to the common methods and vars, so the position enum is declared in that class, and it looks like:
public enum position {TOP_RIGHT, TOP_LEFT, BOTTOM_RIGHT, BOTTOM_LEFT, CENTER, BOTTOM_CENTER, CENTER_TOP, FILL_BOTTOM, FILL_TOP}
Here is an example of how I call ShowcaseView from Activities:
if (cbActivity.BoolFromPref(getLocalClassName(), false)) {
ArrayList<xSchowCaseTarget> svElements = new ArrayList<xSchowCaseTarget>();
svElements.add(new xSchowCaseTarget(Target.NONE, getString(R.string.welcome), getString(R.string.welcome_text), position.FILL_BOTTOM, true));
svElements.add(new xSchowCaseTarget(new ViewTarget(R.id.xxx, ActMain.this), getString(R.string.xxx), getString(R.string.xxx), position.BOTTOM_LEFT));
svElements.add(new xSchowCaseTarget(new ViewTarget(R.id.xxx, ActMain.this), getString(R.string.xxx), getString(R.xxx), position.BOTTOM_RIGHT));
if (isThereActionMenuButton())
svElements.add(new xSchowCaseTarget(new ActionViewTarget(ActMain.this, ActionViewTarget.Type.OVERFLOW), getString(R.string.xxx), getString(R.string.xxx), position.FILL_BOTTOM));
svElements.add(new xSchowCaseTarget(new ViewTarget(R.id.xxx, ActMain.this), getString(R.string.xxx), getString(R.string.xxx), position.CENTER));
frShowCase frSC = frShowCase.newInstance(svElements);
fm.beginTransaction().add(frSC , "xxx").commit();
}
