New feature: Word wrap
If I remember correctly, this is a feature which somebody requested in the forum about six months ago.
Optionally, the Add-In will enable word wrapping in the grids, so that long lines are displayed in narrow columns using multiple lines. You can enable and disable this mode with a new button on the toolbar, as shown below:
Unfortunately, as soon as you start to edit the text, the word wrapping is disabled. This is an irritating problem with the grid component (and the version of this component) which is used in the Add-In. You may find it more convenient to edit texts using the translation memory dialog, which you can start with F3 after entering edit mode in the grid.
(A newer version of the same grid component would probably fix this problem, but I might prefer to switch to a different component altogether.)
In most cases, word wrap is a good option. It's another of those features which I should have added years ago. Almost all strings in any application are single lines. Unless you use C# verbatim strings, then all strings in the source code are single lines. Most strings in controls are also single lines, but you can define multiple line strings in some cases, for example the text property of a label.
The problem with word wrap mode, is that you cannot easily tell the difference between texts which are wrapped, and texts with hard line breaks. To see real line breaks, you might want to disable word wrap mode.
This brings me to the next feature, detecting line break conflicts, but I am going to describe that in a separate posting.
