Description Valentin Petzel 2024-11-26 20:23:01 UTC
When setting the automatic line break column to something higher than the default of 78 it has no effect. While it is generally advised to keep this value a good bit under 80 I think it is not a good if the configuration interface allows for larger values, but doesn’t use it.

I would thus suggest either limiting the numeric input to the hard limit the program imposes, or alternatively to remove that hard limit and maybe display a warning when a higher value is entered.
