Issue 4: Text should autowrap in editor.
http://code.google.com/p/desigle/issues/detail?id=4

New issue report by a...@potatoriot.com:
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Type a bunch of text into the editor


What is the expected output?
I'd like to see auto-wrapped text, without explicit line breaks.

What do you see instead?
Horizontal scrollbar scrolls forever as I add text, which means I can't
see the left hand side of the document.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Subversion r35 on Ubuntu Linux.

Other comments:
This could be a preference although I don't think it's required. The main
choices, in my opinion, are
a) Each paragraph is a single line in the .tex file which is displayed
in the space available using wrapping.
b) No wrapping, use horizontal scrolling.
c) Explicitly add newlines at the edge of the page.

(b) sucks because horizontal scrolling nearly always sucks, certainly for
editing text.
(a) is preferable to (c) because it allows for resizing the text box
without breaking anything and it works better with version control software.
Most programmers prefer (c) to (a), and manage line breaks on their own
with help from their text editors. Writing text is different than writing
code though.
