Word wrap does not work in backup history comparison window

(1/2) > >>

TheHumbleOne:
I am using the latest version on SlickEdit on Windows 10. When I use the backup history window to compare different versions of the same file, the word-wrap feature does not work for .txt files. I have confirmed that .txt files are configured as Plain Text files -- and "Enable soft wrap" is checked for Plain Text files.

There must be a setting that I am missing here. Anybody has come across this issue?

My Configuration:
SlickEdit Pro 2022 (v27.0.1.0 64-bit Qt5)
Operating System: Windows 10 - 64 Bit

Another note: In the older version of SlickEdit, SlickEdit Pro 2015 (v20.0.3.0 64-bit), the word-wrap feature in the backup history comparison window works perfectly for .txt files.

Dan:
How long are the lines that are being wrapped?

TheHumbleOne:
The lines that are being wrapped have hundreds of words in them. I am using SlickEdit not only to write code, but also regular text for things like blog posts. In a regular text paragraph, I might have two hundred lines without a carriage-return character. In the older version of SlickEdit, SlickEdit Pro 2015 (v20.0.3.0 64-bit), in a backup history comparison window, the text files will wrap properly. I have attached a screenshot of what I see with the older version. You can try the same experiment with the latest version of SlickEdit and you will see that the word-wrap feature does not work in the history comparison window.

Dan:
I have to look into this.

Dan:
27.0.1 is actually the correct behavior.  v20.0.3 actually had a bug that didn't shut off softwrap.

The issue is that we can't balance the lines.  I know it's difficult to spot the difference scrolling horizontally, but the whole diff will be out of sync otherwise.
