... And another few anomalies 

1) When wrapped mode is active and the cursor is on the last visible line in the editor panel, switching to unwrapped mode results in the active line being covered  by the horizontal scroll bar. (Minor irritation)

2) When the cursor is on a line towards the middle of the editor panel AND we are viewing the final lines in the source file , toggling from unwrapped to wrapped mode results in the source being scrolled so that the current line is at the bottom of the editor panel. (Moderately irritating)

3) In wrapped mode, if the cursor is on a wrapped part of the line then toggling to unwrapped mode results in the current line indicator appearing on the next line (the cursor is still on the now unwrapped line at its' proper position).  This is considerably annoying and it is unclear where you are about to type.
