--- Comment #21 from L. Rahyen <resea...@science.su> ---
I agree. This "fix" never should have been committed - it is just an ugly hack,
and renders the editor completely unusable for many people and makes it less
uncomfortable for many others. I have to write my messages in another editor
because of this.
Proper fix is to add support for dynamic and static word wrap like in kwrite or
kate along with "no word wrap" mode. Currently we have only static word wrap at
78 symbols (why 78 symbols limit and not 200 like in kate/kwrite?) and no word
wrap at all.
Previously we had static word wrap and dynamic word wrap (the most usable mode
for writing e-mails). Why remove it instead of adding an option "no word wrap"
for people who need it? By the way, almost nobody needs it, and even who do
need it, do not need it most of the time. For example, I send long URLs in the
e-mails pretty often, and nobody complained to me about broken URL (and I was
using KMail without this "fix" for a long time, but upgraded recently). So this
problem with "broken URLs" is greatly exaggerated, and definitely not a reason
to make whole editor uncomfortable/unusable by committing ugly hack instead of
the proper fix. Static word wrapping damages formatting of almost every e-mail
message which is much worse than very small possibility of wrongly formatted
very long URL.
Dynamic wrapping is must-have for any real-world text editor. Even simple
command-line editors like nano have this capability.
