By chance I stumbled upon the cause: I tried disabling the sidebar in settings, but accidentally disabled the status bar instead, and suddenly the word-wrap worked immediately: The status bar minimum width is clamping text area/word-wrap width to a larger value than the editor area's actual width. (screenshot 3) I expect the status bar to never interfere with, or cause, the need for horizontal scrolling -- especially when word-wrap exists for the sole purpose of removing horizontal scrolling. I expect the status bar to make due with whatever size it is given. --- (That I tried to find the sidebar settings in 1. the application menu, and 2. the settings panel before finally finding it in 3. an inconspicuous accessory menu in the window's title bar speaks loads about the current design, but is, of course, a separate issue that I don't know how to even begin to address) --- Description: Ubuntu 17.10 Release: 17.10 gedit: Installed: 3.22.1-1ubuntu1 Candidate: 3.22.1-1ubuntu1 Version table: *** 3.22.1-1ubuntu1 500 500 http://se.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu artful/main amd64 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1725792/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
