S> BUT: what's the reason behind this non-feature?
A very long story.
It's a give and take thing.
There are features in TB!'s editor that you will not find elsewhere.
Lack of soft window wrapping is a side effect to make these features
possible.
Most editors don't really reformat the text when you paste it. They soft
wrap or virtually wrap it. When TB!'s editor wraps the text, it's
reformatted on the fly.
To illustrate my point, take the same block of text that TB!'s editor
pasted as a long string of text, and paste it in your system text
editor. Now toggle the editor's wrap function on and off. Note that
the text displays as a long string of text when the wrapping is
toggled off. With the wrap function enabled, copy the text from it and
into another editor instance with the wrap toggled off. The text
should appear as a long string of text.
Try the same with TB!'s editor, i.e., paste the text in using
Shift+Ctrl+Ins. This will wrap the text. Now copy and paste this text
into your system text editor and toggle the wrap function on and off.
Note that the text remains wrapped.
This is why I agree with the implementation, that if you wish TB!'s
editor to reformat/reflow the pasted text, that you do this yourself
rather than it be implemented as a default feature.
