Horizontal scrolling bug with soft wrap of many spaces

[sylund]

When the soft wrap setting is turned on, horizontal scrolling should not happen. In special case of having abundant spaces, we can horizontally scroll it even though there is no character is shown.

• Atom version: 0.124.0
• OSX 10.9.4 and 10.10 (preview 2)
• Can reproduce it in the safe mode
• Using a monospace font. Tested in Menlo and Monaco.

Reproducing steps. Pleaser refer (http://pastie.org/9522131)

• Create a new file.
• In one line: put one word followed by about 80 space, and put another word in the end.
• Turn on soft wrap and try various window sizes.
• You can do horizontally scrolling; it shouldn't be.

Yeah, I can reproduce this as well -- thanks for the report @sylund!

What is the status of this issue? This seems to be an issue even with English characters only.

This just cropped up for me on 1.13.0

Any word on this? Atom is an awesome tool for code but I'm finding this weirdly disruptive for writing some markdown.

Is this something that should be fixable in just styles? and if so, does anyone have an injectable or installable style sheet workaround (maybe one that could be promoted to a patch)?

[lee-dohm]

I can't reproduce this on Atom v1.16.0 on Mac OS X 10.12.4 using the steps to reproduce listed above. It would appear that the original issue here is fixed.

thanks lee, I'll do that. the workaround i found was re-enabling soft wrap at preferred line length, this gives me a much more usable experience
