[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Line wrap calculation problems (#1495)

[oonet]

Line wrap breaks at word boundaries (word wrap). Straight line wrapping - breaking at a column - would be better for long lines of cryptic code.

When long lines end with series of tabs followed by text intended to align at column, calculation of column varies by number of characters preceding the wrap.

To replicate, type a long line of text that wraps a couple of words onto the (wrap)
following line<tab><tab><tab><tab>Aligned Text

Insert characters into the first line (before the wrap) and watch "Aligned Text" shift a character at a time.

Expected behavior is "Aligned Text" should only shift a tab at a time, as the second line increases length. The number of characters on the first line, before the wrap, shouldn't make any difference.

Xubuntu 17.10 with latest Geany from repository (1.29).
