153536 - no wordwrap in View Page source

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 116225

(Core Graveyard :: View Source, defect)

Description

[u32858]

There is no wordwrap in View Page source, this would be a very useful addition.
I spend a lot of time debugging html pages, and having to scrole around really
long lines is a real bore!

I am aware of the "view -> wrap long lines" function, but this only wraps on end
of tags or spaces, it really needs a wrap lines at a char, when cut and paste
this should not have a LF inserted though.

^ this feature is not configurabile in the Preferences yet I believe

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.go to quicktime.apple.com there are many long html pages there
2.try and find the url of one of the mov files to download with wget
3.

Actual Results:  really long page, unable to view all src on one window without
scrolling

Expected Results:  nice formated single page, wrapped at window width (only
internally, not modifying LF in the file) and also at LF in the file. (this is
common in editplus a windows html editor.
