--- Comment #1 from Dominik Haumann <dhaum...@kde.org> ---
Unfortunately that is by design.

If we want to support that, then Kate would have to layout all lines in the
document to know exactly how many wrapped lines are in the view.

Layouting all lines can be really slow since Kate supports right-to-left
languages as well. We already have issues about Kate being slow for very long
lines. Adding support for this behavior would make it worse.

The only possible workaround would be that Kate knows it has only ascii content
(special case), since then with a fixed font we'd know exactly how long a line
would really be.

Currently, we always decided to not add such a special case... So we have to
live with it.

Scrolling with the mouse wheel should work, though.
