Word wrap disables unexpectedly while writing code

[vincentreynaud]

Issue type: Bug

• VSCode Version: 1.30.2 & older
• OS Version: macOS 10.12.6 & macOS 10.13.6

Word Wrap keeps disabling itself although I have it set ON by default or although i just toggled Word Wrap back on.

Steps to Reproduce:
Working on a file, i notice the word wrap is off

1. Turn it back on with Toggle Word Wrap / [Alt] + [Z]
2. Continue coding
3. Notice Word Wrap is off again!

It might get deactivated by another key combination, maybe by [Enter], [Backspace] or else, although these key bindings are not defined for that purpose. In some attempts the toggle is triggered by a simple swipe up/down the trackpad i use.

I didn't find any reports of that issue. I don't understand what is going on, and this is a pretty frustrating bug. In last resort is there even a way to totally disable the Toggle Word Wrap feature to get rid of this issue?

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: No

I did a test, the GitLens extension may be triggering this.

Any feedback on this? I'm facing the same issue on Linux

Yes!
The setting gitlens.currentline.scrollable needs to be set to false.
Issue #43940 addresses the problem in vscode, and this one gitkraken/vscode-gitlens#290 reports it on the gitlens repo. No plan to change how the setting messes up with the word wrap feature so far.
