A line wrap issue with space followed by very long string?

Post by jonathanrc »

Looking to see if anyone else notices the same thing. (Not sure if this is working as expected or not.)

For example, take text file where for any line beginning with at least one space character (ASCII 0x20) followed by a long string of printable ASCII characters, the line would not wrap as I would expect (i.e. wrap the line at the character closest to the side of the window versus further down the line where it would leave a string of hidden characters between the wrapped lines.)

Tried this in 8.14.2 and 9.0.0 and this observation still persists. And this observation is also seen regardless of whether the window is maximized or not.

Thanks,

As the feature is called word wrap, it wraps at word boundaries.

If there are no word boundaries, it does not wrap.

Thanks for planning the enhancement! Will definitely help support how we use TextPad for log analysis.
