text wrapping issue

Does anyone mind the word-wrapping / truncation issue as depicted in
the lower-right corner of the attached screen-shot?

Simply tweaking the size of the window fixes it, but I've been doing
that for a couple of years now, so it's time to ask. This issue
exists in 3.9 too, so it's an old problem that probably has Pharo too,
but I don't recall at the moment..

Is there an easy way to recreate this problem?

Re: text wrapping issue

Yes. Set

RealEstateAgent standardSize: 450@550

so that window proportions are a little taller and narrower.

Then, open up DateAndTimeEpochTest in a browser (hierarchy or
package-pane, either one). _Do not resize_ the window after it
opens. Then, just select any method. Arrow down, observing the
right-margin of the code. On many methods, the code is truncated,
sometimes even in the middle of a character...

Re: text wrapping issue

Thanks. Reproducible problems are my favorite :-) I've posted a fix for
this problem - it turns out that PluggableTextMorph's textMorph bounds
could get out of sync with its scroller and when that happened, the
textMorph would be clipped to the scroller's width. This can only happen
when you disable #alwaysShowVScrollBar which is why I couldn't reproduce
it at first but your screenshot showed that your scrollbars weren't
showing which was useful.

Cheers,
