word wrap
 

i put in a feature request / bug report for word wrap to the size of the window, as at present, long items without a para break simply disappear beyond the edge of the window - both for items and notes.

is there likely to be any progress on this?

As in you have horizontal scrolling? It sounds like your column ended up wider than the window. Word wrapping is working for the column width. Have you emailed in a sample file I can take a look at?
