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

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

This string is then replaced by nothing (which starts/ends at position 0).
The start position for the next search is then placed behind the replacement, i ...

terrypin, in your other thread of today you mention Textpad version 7.6.4 - I am not sure, but wasn't Unicode support introduced in version 8.0?

Show Tab close buttons permanently

Do I not see the option to permanently display the close button on the document tabs?

Currently, the close button is only visible on the current document.

If I want to close one of the other documents, I first need to click the tab, and then only can click the close button (and with luck, the tab ...

Now I have to cancel the file open ...

File -> Open, go to a folder in File selection dialog, then type the name of a file in the filename field, then click open.
