Note that 1.32 is a fairly old version and can't remember how it worked, I have tried to translated to current 1.36.

It doesn't happen. Line wrapping does not add `\n` to the contents, it simply renders the content limited to the right margin. You can see that because the line numbers do not display on wrapped content and only increment on line endings actually present in the document. Each document thats open can have a different wrapping setting by the user via `Document->Line Wrapping`. The preferences setting is the default used for newly opened documents. > Close the Geany window. Reopen it. > The lines still are not displayed multiline (adjusted). When Geany is closed and re-opened, document settings for documents open at close are remembered so they can be reopened in much the same state as they were when Geany is closed, so wrapping won't change for files that are reopened. > Close one file tab. Reopen the same file. But by closing the documents and re-opening you are using the default as its then a newly opened document, thats why the setting changes when you do this. > Lines are finally correctly rendered. > I think it'd be awesome to see the new preferences setting in effect in (4), > although at least in (6) the lines should be correctly rendered. The reason neither of these happens is explained above and is the intended operation to allow per-document wrapping settings. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
