Here's a gif of the behavior:

You'll notice that once I install the plugin, the file gets softwrapped every time I change tabs to it. I forgot to uncheck the "Soft Wrap" option in the gif, but doing that doesn't make a difference, the behavior is the same.

This is really annoying. I think this must have happened fairly recently. I don't know the codebase, but this might be related?

Thanks!

@kentcdodds thanks for reporting this! The editoroconfig should not change the wrap-configuration if there is no max_line_length applied. Could you please add the output of the EditorConfig: Show State-command?

[kentcdodds]

Sure:

[kentcdodds]

It appears that there is a max-line-length applied, but I wouldn't expect that to soft wrap if Soft Wrap is not checked.

[florianb]

@kentcdodds -- this is the normal behavior. Since a raising number of users complain about this implementation i am probably going to change the behavior.

Even though i don't understand why people set a max_line_length if they don't want it being applied.
