Thank you for your test. >Note that people run apps line Geany and Scite on machines like raspberry pi, >so not all machines can be assumed to be hypercomputers That's true, indeed. I recognized that the editor Kate and the editor Geany have the same behavior. It seems to be that developers of big software don't like a freezing behavior because it is a break in the flow, and the flow seems to be holy. I think a good comprise would be to offer two Line Wrapping: - Line Wrapping without freezing the display - Line Wrapping with freezing the display But I can imagine that it will not be realized because the effort is enormous while the use is low. Nevertheless at Scintilla I could write this: Add the possibility to switch between 'Line Wrapping without freezing the display' and 'Line Wrapping with freezing the display'.
