That is interesting. How are those more inclusive? Who would participate in those that would not participate in the mailing list poll? Perhaps the idea is we would announce the poll on Twitter and then anyone who sees it would be able to participate? I don't think it makes sense to do that for this particular issue, but I personally would be interested in polling users more often on issues (e.g., for example, I would have been interested in results on if users use continuous spellcheck). > > I'm not sure how relevant the following comparison is given that LyX is > > different, but in case it is helpful for discussion: > > > > LibreOffice Writer, Gedit, Chromium, and Firefox automatically wrap.

That would indeed be nice. Scott
