Text wrapping is terrible in Sublime Text--or what am I doing wrong?

Question

When I attempt to wrap text (and is there not an automatic wrap at edge of window feature??) it totally screws up the other lines of text above and below it.

What's the deal?

Answer 1

I believe you have the word wrap column set to a hard number, but do not have it enabled.

You can toggle it by clicking

View > Word Wrap

or In the command palette (ctrl+shift+p) type Word Wrap: Toggle

If you want it to auto-wrap at the edge of the window click:

View > Word Wrap Column > Automatic
