Thanks guys, the output from :verbose set tw? wm? was textwidth=78 wrapmargin=0
And fo is set to formatoptions=tcql help fo-table indicates that the 'l' is supposed to prevent long lines from being cut off past textwidth. But in any case, setting tw=0 did the trick! -Sid On Sun, Jun 5, 2011 at 1:46 PM, Gary Johnson <[email protected]> wrote: > On 2011-06-05, Siddhartha Kasivajhula wrote: > > Noble Vim sages, > > Lately, vim has started creating a newline as soon as I hit 72 columns in > a > > line.
