soft wrap

[jamesm]

Soft wrap problem persists in Editor defaults and Language settings.
I'm using BBedit 9.3 (2630) of Fri, 23 Oct 2009

9.3 release notes show this bug fixed, as shown below:
-- Fixed bug in which language-specific text wrap preferences were not
applied when opening an existing document.

I am having trouble changing the line length from 80 to 132 for editor
default and in language settings.
I'm also new to BBedit. Is there something I may be missing?

Regards,
jamesm

It's still not applying my wrap choice when opening a document. I'm
using version 9.3.1 (2638).

I tried a combination of choices of "Honor saved state" and "Save
document state" without success. The document's wrap-state would
always return to wrap to "character width" instead of "window width"
like I wanted. I was having a problem with iTunes and found a solution
that required editing the 'plist' file so I looked in BBEdit 'plist'
file to see what I could find. Solution!:

I quit BBEdit (9.3.1) and opened "~/Library/
com.barebones.bbedit.plist" in Property List Editor (which is part of
the XCode package) and scrolled down until I saw a meaningful line. I
found 4 lines that start with "Editor:WrapMode" one with the value
'WrPh' and 3 with the value 'WrCh' which I assume stands for wrap to
"page guide" and "character width", respectively. I took a guess (or
did I see this somewhere in there?) and changed all 4 of them to
'WrWn'. (save and quit)

Now when I open a document in BBEdit the window defaults to wrapping
to "window width" as I wanted. (Yippee! this has bugged me for some
time!)
