Word wrap for source language (Greek/Hebrew) window?

Question

Is it possible to enable word wrap in the source language tools window?

Answer 1

When the project HEB/GRK is opened as a resource, it wraps. But when I open “source text” by clicking on the aleph icon on the toolbar or by selecting it under File, it does not wrap when I zoom in.

drwww:

it does not wrap when I zoom in.

This is probably the real issue. Try resizing the window a little after zooming. I vaguely recall this being recently fixed in 9.0 (no users have the changes yet).

FYI, @anon291708, I can’t reproduce @drwww’s problem in PT [Phone Removed]right now I was working on my second computer, which hasn’t updated to .83). Makes me wonder whether the problem is intermittent, or happens only on some computers.

Are you talking about the bottom line with grammatical information and glosses? I assume the answer is no, and if so, one has to work around it.
For the Hebrew text some of those lines are long and you cannot see the gloss if the window is narrow. What I like to do in Paratext 9 is to make this window floating and then make it wide enough to see everything. If I do not pin it to be on top always, it hides itself and I can pull it up when I need it.
In Paratext 8, I set the width of the window to half my screen in order to see everything.

Answer 3

I had in mind the text itself. It would be great if the text would wrap so the user doesn’t have to scroll horizontally.

Normally, this should be working (the words wrap on my computer). Maybe closing and reopening the SLT window helps?

Ok, I did not understand your problem, since the text wraps on my (Windows 10) computer both for P8 and P9.

Answer 4

What I discovered is that if you zoom with CTRL + mouse wheel as I normally do, the text doesn’t wrap (same in PTX 9). However, if you zoom using CTRL + Plus, the text wraps.
