If it helps, I can confirm that this issue does *not* occur in an iPod Touch 5 
(iOS 7.0.4).

Same issue on iPad 2.

The game has explicitly switched to a fixed-width font, and so iFrotz doesn't 
word wrap on purpose so as not to screw up any formatting the game is trying to 
do which should line up on columns.

Frotz should let you scroll left and right to see the whole text, though;  not 
sure what a better solution for this would be that wouldn't mess up fixed-width 
formatting.

Ah, I thought it might be something to do with the fixed-width font. But how do 
you scroll across? If you swipe from right to left, you just reveal the Notes 
screen.

Then why does it appear normally in the iPod? I'm not complaining, mind you, I 
think it's appearing like it should, but it goes against your explanation.

The only explanation I can think of is that the game is checking the reported 
number of columns itself and explicitly enabling word wrap, but if it's bigger 
than a certain fixed size, assuming it doesn't need to.

I hope that behaviour doesn't get changed, then. :) Didn't even know the games 
themselves could do that.

Playing this entire game scrolling left to right would be a nuisance, though.

"not sure what a better solution for this would be that wouldn't mess up 
fixed-width formatting."

As you know, my answer to everything is: "toggle it". What about an option that 
toggles word-wrap to force on/off? You could have on/off/default. Presto, a 
user choice that the player can fiddle with until they get what they want.

It's impossible to scroll sideways in Frotz on iOS. Or am I missing something?

Thanks for all your work on iOS Frotz. Happy holidays.

I actually wasn't ever able to reproduce this issue, even on an iPad or iPad 
mini.  It's wrapping that text fine for me, and even rewraps when I change font 
sizes.  Same version of Endless, Nameless.

I think Frotz may have gotten into a weird state from a previous game or 
something.
