Ah, of course. I see what you mean now. Yes, the behavior you describe works as advertised. (I hadn't noticed the per-document Line Breaking setting.) Would be useful if there were a hover tooltip on the "Line breaking column" line in the "Editor : Feature" pref pane that said, "this is for the per-document line-breaking setting". Incidentally, I like the terminology used here: line breaking (for automatically putting in real newlines while you're typing), and line wrapping (for simply displaying long lines wrapped). Nice and clear. And, as you point out, 1. If I have the long-line marker disabled, *but* have the per-document line-breaking setting enabled, then Ctrl-J (reflow) works great (and uses the "line-breaking column" pref setting), and 2. Geany does indeed beep at me if I try to use Ctrl-J when it won't work (though, when getting the beep, it would be useful to get a message telling me, "for reflow to work, either turn on per-document line-breaking for this document, or else enable the long-line marker pref").
