Should be fixed in 26.1.
Just for the records: this feature can be enabled in the SmartGit preferences, page "User interface".
It was more complicated than just invoking `setWordWrap(true)` as you can see in your screenshot. I think, the first 26.2 preview will contain the word-wrap feature for the Changes view.
Please report your confusion to the Git mailing list.
You can activate the split view for staged files which make unstaged changes extremely easy to see. Alternatively, you can sort the files by state, then the untracked files become easier to spot.
The sorting is configurable by the user. Please sort by the State column.
Our used GUI library SWT does not support the shared search string. The other problem (the forgotten search string after not-found) I can't reproduce with SmartGit 26.1.
So you want to have a mode where the non-conflicting changes be not colored?
