It would be nice to have the ability to turn line wrapping on or off in Variable Watcher windows. I often end up with lines that will never display on any display known to man.
Maybe have some visual indicator to show an actual line break vs. a line break that is being done just to wrap.
Edit: Now that I think about it, this would also be great in the message box output.
Edit 2: Implementing this http://forums.runrev.com/viewtopic.php? ... 113#p65113 (indicating that a variable is too long to display) at the same time would be useful

Re: Line Wrapping in Variable Watcher Windows
You probably already know it, but the magnifying glass next to a long line will show the value in its own window.
If the value is a single, very long line, I sometimes just type a few carriage returns into the text, just so I can see what's there. If you don't hit the Apply button, nothing is altered and no damage done. It isn't the best solution but it works in a pinch.

That is the window that I am talking about wanting wrapping in - not in the little field within the overall variable watcher interface
With some of the stuff I have (multi-thousand char long character delimited lines) inserting my own returns is a hassle
