1. Click Tools->Configuration Files->filetypes.common

2. In the file that opens, remove the `#~ ` comments from the beginning 
of the second line that says `[styling]` and from the line that says 
`line_wrap_indent`. There should be no leading spaces on these lines.

3. Change the value of the `line_wrap_indent` to `0;0`.

4. Save the file (it already knows where to save it).

5. Click Tools->Reload Configuration.
