1661957 - Since v_52.x.x TB no longer wraps to window width when inserting unformatted text (Ctrl V)

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1661962

(Thunderbird :: Message Compose Window, enhancement)

Steps to reproduce:

Up to and including version 45.8.0, TB wrapped inserted (unformatted) text by window width if "mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width" was set to "true" (see TB 45.8.0 - Ctrl V.png). If you then edited this inserted text with "Rewrap" resp. Ctrl R, TB wrapped the text correctly to line length 72 characters (default) ( see TB 45.8.0 - Ctrl R.png).

Actual results:

Since version 52.x.x this behavior has changed. Despite setting "mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width" to "true", TB 52.9.1 wraps the text to about 90 characters per line (see TB 52.9.1 - Ctrl V.png) or TB 68.12.0 wraps the text to 72 characters per line (TB 68.12.0 - Ctrl V.png).

It becomes annoying when the inserted text is rewrapped (Ctrl R). Quotations are generally no longer wrapped correctly (see TB 52.9.1 - Ctrl R.png), "normal" text is wrapped unattractive in TB 68.12.0 (see TB 68.12.0 - Ctrl R.png).

Expected results:

Furthermore, inserted (unformatted) text should be wrapped according to window width if "mail.compose.wrap_to_window_width" is set to "true". Furthermore, this inserted text should be wrapped correctly, so that "normal" text and quotations appear in the set line length.
