There is a process, bugs triagers do send some of the issues upstream but there are not enough manpower to deal with all the reports so it might takes time.
If you send it upstream it would help and increase the chances that the people writting the software read about the issue but if you are not interested that's fine as well. Note that your issue has been looked at, otherwise you wouldn't have got a reply, it's just not important enough to make it to the top of your list and have somebody assigned to work on it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1725792 Title: Word-wrap breaks in windows with small width Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: When making a window as narrow as possible, I noticed that word-wrap stopped wrapping words before I was done shrinking the window (attached screenshots 1 and 2). 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 : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
