[arch-general] Issue with Vim 8.0 and linebreak
Hey hey list, when I use the set linebreak command, Vim actually splits the lines, inserting CRLF or similar. The help says that it shouldn't do that, nor has it on Vim 7.x, which I ran on another Linux system. When just viewing a text, Vim displays it as expected with proper linebreaks and there are no inserts of CRLFs. Does anyone else have a similar issue or is there something else to take into account?

Hmm. I just tested on my system (with Vim 8), and "set linebreak" works as advertised. It wraps the lines but doesn't insert a CRLF. Are you sure you don't have something else set which may be causing this? Jeremy

Assured by your test, I searched through all the Vim config files and found that textwidth was set in one of them for text files.
Sometimes, it onlky takes a little assurance. :) Thanks! Best wishes, Jeanette ------- When you need someone, you just turn around and I will be there <3
