You can work around this by setting:

[editor.soft-wrap]
enable = false

It happens because that field is Option<bool>, so if it isn't specified as true or false in the TOML then it becomes a JSON null value when we serialize the current config as JSON. We could add a SoftWrap struct in helix-view that doesn't have the Option wrappers. (They're there because SoftWrap is reused for languages.toml and config.toml configuration.) I'm not sure it's worth it though as this can be easily worked around. Once we revamp the config system (#8853) this probably should go away anyways
