<p>If I understood correctly, what you described of "nedit" can be enabled under <code>Edit->Preferences->Editor->Display->Virtual spaces</code> (set to <code>Always</code>).</p>

<p>Thanks for this hint - it is helpful to be able to select part of a long line. But enabling this option has the adverse side-effect that the cursor will also be placed into some "virtual space" when not click-drag-selecting, for example when just pressing cursor up/down.<br>
It would be much more intuitive if only the scrolling while click-drag-selecting could be disabled, without placing the cursor into a virtual space.</p>

<p>Menu->Document->Line wrapping</p>

<p>I knew of that option and always prefer a not wrapped display.</p>
