Hey Ivar,
Clear so far.

What are you wanting to happen here? In order to keep it from feeling silly?

What contradicting settings? You have not described a situation where BBEdit
could be at fault.

What do you mean?
You mean that you have to widen the window, because the lines are no longer
wrapped - and you can't see the complete line?
Okay. To try to give you a useful answer I'm going to assume that the window
in question simply isn't wide enough to display the complete unwrapped (longer)
lines in your log file.
I see two basic options:
1) Change the default window size (in the Window menu).
2) Resize your window as necessary.
a) Manually
b) With a window manager utility.
c) With an Applescript.

This script will zoom to the front BBEdit window to the size of your screen.
It will not handle multi-monitor set-ups, although it is possible to do that
with some extra complication.
Save it as an Applescript with the Applescript Editor, and put it in BBEdit's
scripts folder. Give it a keyboard shortcut, and you can resize your window in
a trice.
Of course you can pick a size smaller than the screen if desired.
To get the bounds of the front BBEdit window run this script in the Applescript
Editor:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
tell application "BBEdit"
bounds of front window
end tell
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Position your window the way you want it, run the script, then replace
deskBounds in the resizer script with the result.
