Sirap,
We are sorry that we do not always have the capacity to review all
reported bugs in a timely manner. You reported this bug some time ago
and Ubuntu 17.10 (artful) reached end-of-life on July 19, 2018.
Do you still see a problem related to the one that you reported in a
currently supported version of Ubuntu? I'm asking as I cannot reproduce
the issue with gedit 3.28 in Ubuntu 18.04.
Thank you for helping make Ubuntu better.

Title:
Word-wrap breaks in windows with small width
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
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)
