No automatic line breaks in the Markdown editor

Features
1

I would like the option to disable the automatic word wrap in the Markdown editor in Joplin, so that a line is displayed in a single line with a horizontal scroll bar, no matter how long the line is. The maximum width of the editor is set to zero.

I had already asked about this in the support area.

And the function has been requested here before, without there being any result to the request.

The CodeMirror 6 docs include lineWrapping as a boolean variable. Could a toggle for it be added to the Extra Markdown editor settings plugin?

For an immediate workaround on desktop, you can edit your userchrome.css file. Open it in a notepad by clicking Tools > Options > Appearance > Show Advanced Settings > Custom stylesheet for Joplin-wide app styles.

If you use the CodeMirror 6 beta editor (enabled by default), add this CSS to userchrome.css:

.note-editor-wrapper div[style$="flex: 1 1 0%;"] {
  overflow-x: scroll;
}

.cm-lineWrapping {
  white-space: nowrap !important;
}

If you use the CodeMirror 5 legacy editor (toggleable with Tools > Options > General > Show Advanced Settings > Enable the legacy Markdown editor), add this CSS to userchrome.css:

.CodeMirror-sizer {
  display: flex;
  overflow-x: scroll;
  width: max-content; 
  min-width: inherit;
}

Does not work as intended. The line-wrap disappears but there is no scroll bar.

For anyone still experiencing the problem, what resolved the issue for me was the following:

Tools > Options
Expand the "Show Advanced Settings" under "General"
Clicking "OCR: Clear cache and re-download data files"

Thanks for the tip. I tried that, but unfortunately it doesn't work as expected either. A scroll bar does appear, but it doesn't work properly. On top of that, there's a very strange behavior where the entire window content scrolls horizontally, including the list of notes. So, disappointingly, this is still not a solution for me, even though I continue to really wish for this feature.
