It's really weird to have to visually prove that "other editors have line wrapping", as if that was a novelty in 2020, but here it goes, Meld, a common diff viewer for Gnome...

This is essential nowadays. Most (all?) tools we use support auto-wrap, and this is very important for things like docblocks or documentation files. Force users to wrap every 80 or 120 chars is not good because a small change in the middle of a paragraph may force all the following lines to incorporate changes that are not really meaningful.

Oh well. Having changes in two years or not, this issue is either fixed or was ever invalid. However, I'm not able to close it, so could someone do it? :)

Seems done? Came back to SmartGit after quite some time without it, stumbled upon this ticket, and re-checked... :)
