Comment 4 for bug 371660

Hi,

thanks for your post. I've considered and tested this approach but I didn't feel very comfortable with changing text contents and not making it obvious that there's something going on the writer might want to have a look at. From my point of view, something's going wrong when there are words that are longer than lines. But my point of view comes from German language, where we compose extraordinarily long composita. Mostly, that would become a problem of style. Could be that I'm missing some corner cases now, though.

Your point about adding another option to the preferences windows is correct. I'd rather avoid that and stick with the scrollbar approach for now
