some things I find hindering in the ide/editor:
- wordwrap comments - this should be default OFF, and to be enabled by user's choice
- wordwrapping code-lines - (a new thing) same as above, this is especially irritating because it breaks my concentration
since I have to hunt for my code that disappeared from where I was typing, and I cannot find where to turn this OFF
- navigator - same; the editor expands to the right and the navigator should not be there by default, this
is a user-choice to be OFF by default
- rescan file while editing - suggest a tool-button for this because lately there is a lag, half-a-sec to a sec,
between typing and the character appearing on-screen because of rescanning being busy
What do you think, can/should this be changed?
(or should I just shut-up & be happy for getting a free tool?)

word-wrapping code-lines: this happen consistently when I have a long line and type beyond column 96/7 then
the input-point suddenly jump to an indented new line below
This must be something really specific, maybe some bug triggered by something special in the line. (I have just tested and it does not happen normally).
Would it be possible to show me screenshot after this happens?
Quote:
navigator: I agree it must be available, but to the left of the editor as per the original
default, when it is to the right I find it not helpful/interferes with my visual feel for the code
and I always change it back to the middle/left of the editor, which is what I'm saying should remain
the default location
Well, my reason for having it right is that I want to have text in proper center, not look right all the time.
All in all, this is debatable, so I will stick with my instict for now. I anybody else complains about this, I might change the default...
Quote:
rescan file while editing: this is maybe just part of the start-up process of theide, and maybe I'm too quick
into editing for it to have finished scanning all sources used; after a project is open a while this
becomes less of an issue, I have not timed it, so maybe I should just be patient for the few minutes it
takes theide to set itself up - I'll monitor it and report if it persists
Have you ever tried to start Visual Studio?

"Be verbose" was not checked, so I checked it, no change to menu, and no check-box next to "Word wrap"
Restarted theide with verbose checked, still no change, no check-box
I was asking about "Be verbose" only to check that checkboxes work in the menu on your setup.
IDK. It feels like something really weird is going on here. For starters, can you "rebuild all" current trunk and recheck?
You can also check this code (.Check should add that checkbox there)
void Ide::EditSpecial(Bar& menu)
{
bool b = !editor.IsReadOnly();
menu.Add(AK_WORDWRAP, THISBACK(ToggleWordwrap))
.Check(wordwrap);
menu.Separator();

Recompiled and no change, and no check-box either
I tried to follow the code but poking a stick at those COMBINE macros returned sawdust
Only thing I can think of is that somewhere 'wordwrap' get set to true and left that way
Also I noticed that most of the menu-items has .Help(..) specified, but none shows up when the menus are used
