Please fix text wrapping in fields

Post by tonymac » Fri Mar 02, 2012 10:23 pm

I don't know of a single text editor that doesn't wrap text when it reaches the far right side of a window. Spaces in the text or not... should not make any difference. When text reaches the far right side, wrap it. If you don't like the idea, at least give us a checkbox that would "force wrap" text.

Thanks.

See the dontWrap property.

Think this refers to the fact that a line with no spaces won't wrap despite the dontwrap being set to false.

Ah. Got it. That makes sense then. Thanks.
