True. > For some reason, that cycle got reversed. Are you sure? > I find it obnoxious to have to click twice to un-wrap. So would I. Fortunately that's not and never has been how the notebook works... at least for me. Can you double check? I'm puzzled, because Andrey also said: "I need to click on the output (twice) ...", yet I'm sitting here trying it and one clicks switches from word wrap to not word wrap; the second click switch to hide. It's been like that since I implemented the javascript to do that nearly two years ago. That code hasn't been touched in years as far as I remember. > Perhaps the easiest way to improve the current behavior is to > switch un-wrap and hide. Done.
