Join lines command is missing in 5.0.2

Post by cgrindel »

I noticed this afternoon that the Join Lines (Ctrl + J) command is missing from the Edit menu in TextPad 5.0.2. I would request that this command be enabled again in a subsequent build.

BTW, thanks for starting active development again on TextPad.

"Join Lines" exists and works in 5.0.2.

But only if "wrap lines" is off (then it is replaced by "Split Wrapped Lines".

I never noticed that the Join lines was dependent upon line wrapping.

Bad "Feature"

Why would one not want to be able to join lines when text is wrapped? I really don't understand the value of making this contingent on a display option.

I use this command all the time in a variety of documents, in most of which I wrap lines. I prefer to see all the text. Upon upgrading to 5.0.3, however, join lines has effectively been removed. Any chance we can get this contingent behavior removed or changed to option that we can toggle?
