It's tough to find the right words. "Line breaking", "line wrapping",
and "auto newline" all sound pretty similar to me. As long as the
popup help is clear about the difference between the features (ex.:
altering display vs. altering your text, or toggling a feature on/off
vs. a one-shot altering of your text), I'm sure any names you choose
would be fine.

I really like Geany's popup help, btw. :)
