Description Santa Claws 2019-05-15 11:31:15 UTC
STR:

1. Enable all wrapping settings in Preferences->Compose->Wrapping
2. Start composing a new message
3. Disable "Auto wrapping" from the Edit menu
4. Type a line of text long enough to auto wrap (if auto wrapping ws on)
5. Go to the beginning of the line and insert ">" (to make it a quotation)

EXPECTED:

The text should remain on the same line and should not be auto wrapped.

ACTUAL:

The long line of (now quoted) text gets auto wrapped ignoring the fact of Step 3.

Disable the "Wrap quotation" option on the same preferences page to avoid this.
Comment 2 Santa Claws 2019-05-15 12:49:59 UTC
The idea is to have a way to turn of all auto wrapping for a custom message while still have it on by default. What you suggest is to change the default back and forth for each custom case. I suppose that Edit->Auto wrapping on/off was created exactly in order to avoid that, so I assumed it was a bug that it doesn't work for quotations too.

If you think it is invalid, would it make more sense to turn this into a feature request? Like: Have Compose window option Edit->Auto wrap quotation on/off? Sounds more complicated though because then one would still have to toggle 2 settings for a custom case.
