I am sorry. I am very stupid about getting my mode names right. My
problem is with:
\family typewriter
SELECT city FROM friends
\family default
This code is the one that gets translated to:
SELECT~city~FROM~friends
and when this text is part of a paragraph, no wrapping can occur within
this text. That is my problem. My patch prevents ~ translation for
'typewriter' mode, not TeX mode as I state.
I have retained the rest of the message for your reference. I have
fixed the naming of the modes.
