@Tetrax-10 Is most of the content in your file sitting on very long lines? We have heuristics in place to detect minified JS code and turn on wrapping for such code. The reason is that we don't have horizontal rendering virtualization, only vertical. In that case we show a button in the editor title area to forcefully turn that off.

@alexdima Yeah most of my contents are very long single line code eg: SVG in strings, data:image/png;base64, data:image/gif;base64. But none of my code are minified. JS file source code

Is this the button you are talking about?

Even if I click that button, the words are wrapped once i restart vscode. It doesn't remember it. Is there any way to tell vscode to ignore that file for word wrapping? Thank you.

@Tetrax-10 I haven't tested it, but you could try "editor.wordWrapOverride": "off" in your settings (this is an internal setting).

Didn't work its grayed out, but thanks for the help. You can close this issue if its not an issue.

[alexdima]

Yes, sorry about that, I didn't test it myself.

This whole thing is a workaround to avoid UI freezes with rendering very long lines. I will mark as FR for now, we can change the behavior or add a special setting editor.wordWrap: never if other folks thing it would help a lot.

Sure, that will do it.

I don't think so.
