Word wrap keeps going off

Post by ^OO^ »

I just downloaded and installed version 473.
I carefully went through the preferences and got everything the way I like it. A creature of habit, me.
But there is a problem. One of the more important settings is word wrap which I always set to ON.

But - each time I open a document of any kind, the wrap is off.
Why won't it stay on as in earlier versions?
It's so irritating.
If there is no way to make it remember the setting, I shall revert to an earlier version.

This is so silly. The MUST be a way. Or - must there?
An oversite by the coding team - or is there some astoundingly logical reason to eschew word wrap?

I have version 473.
I tried those instructions and it did not work.
I thought I might have done it wrong so I very carefully read both sets of instructions and tried another four times.
It did not work. It does not work. It cannot work. It will not work.

THEY have ruined a good text processor.
I am dumping this version and going back to 450 unless somebody has found another route to a solution that DOES exist.

Wow.
It worked!

Thank you so much :)

I guess the "Apply these settings to all classes" tick box was somehow disconnected during the last re-compilation :-/

Ah well, shit happens :roll:
