Description Christian Pekeler CLA 2005-04-09 18:12:35 EDT 
If I edit some text in Eclipse (for example Java source code) and a line of text gets wider than my screen 
size, I get a vertical scroll bar. I don't like that. I want the text to wrap instead.

Wrapping shouldn't be done by inserting line breaks, so the text always makes maximum use of the 
current screen estate. See the standard application TextEdit on the Mac OS X platform as an example 
for what I mean.
