281409 - Need a way to set wrap width in the editor

Status: NEW

(Core :: DOM: Editor, defect)

In bug 89780, I wrote:

I just noticed a few weeks ago that composer has no way to set the wrap column,
either (a related problem).  I could swear that it used to check a pref called
editor.htmlWrapColumn, and in fact nsEditor::GetWrapWidth does, but nsHTMLEditor
never actually calls that method.  We're all screwed up there (I've been meaning
to file a bug, and maybe fix it, or track down whether it used to work and
regressed).  But as you point out, the serializer would have to be fixed before
the editor could do anything about it.

I've split off this bug to track that issue.

I'm not filing a serializer bug at this point; if the serializer still needs
extra work to allow this, I'll file it once I'm more clear on what is needed.

Mass-removing myself from cc; search for 12b9dfe4-ece3-40dc-8d23-60e179f64ac1 or any reasonable part thereof, to mass-delete these notifications (and sorry!)

Removing myself as assignee for editor bugs, since the editor project is (sadly) long gone.
