TextEdit wrap_lines doesnt seem to be working

D-Ring

Working with TextEdit boxes and i have the wrap_lines field checked as true but it still scrolls horizontally. Is there another setting im missing to limit the horizontal scroll

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated

I just tested with Godot 3.0.6 and it appears that wrap_lines does not work. From what I can gather from this closed issue on the Godot GitHub repository, it has been fixed in Godot 3.1.

I would try testing Godot 3.1 alpha 2 with a TextEdit node on a new project or on your main project (make a backup first!) and see if it works there. :smile:

hmmm, well the alpha completely breaks the function of all my textboxes...is there a way to implement it in myself?

I'm not sure. I would take a look at the PR linked in the issue and see if you can convert the code into GDScript.

You could also try taking the code in the PR, download the Godot 3.0 repository, apply the changes from the PR into the Godot 3.0 code, and see if it compiles there.

I suppose another way would be going through all of the text in the TextEdit every so often and adding \n to lines over a certain length. I am not sure how feasible or useful that would be, but other than that I really have no idea.
