"Word wrap" option is reset from time to time

Anton

I set “View” -> “Word Wrap” to true.
After some time of working with Npp it becomes false somehow.
Many versions affected.
Please fix the bug.

My guess is that you are accidentally toggling the word wrap state.

There is a toolbar icon that can toggle the word wrap feature on or off. It’s to the left of the ¶ (paragraph mark) icon. A plugin is available, Customize Toolbar, that can remove the icon from your toolbar. I think Customize Toolbar only works for 32-bit versions.

You may have a keyboard shortcut that toggles the word wrap state. From Notepad++ select Settings / Shortcut Mapper Enter the word wrap in the filter field at the bottom of the dialog box. In the Main Menu tab of the Shortcut Mapper you should see two lines, one for Show Wrap Symbol and the other for Word wrap. Is there anything in the Shortcut column for the “Word wrap” line? Normally there are no keyboard shortcuts to toggle the word wrap thing and so this step is to verify that the there are no shortcuts.

No, it works in 64-bit as well.
I use it, but I’ve never been entirely happy with it (I see bugs).

Just a data point since I’m still on v8.5.7 (though updating now). Windows 10 x64.

I have the same problem with the Word Wrap setting being forgotten, but it seems to be random. It doesn’t happen every time I open the app so I can’t reproduce it.

I checked the Shortcut Mapper in NPP and I have no key mapped for this.

I’ll pay a little more attention in the future to see if I can connect this with the use of anything else.
