You are right, guys, I tried just that. The reason for which it fails 
is, there is no WordWrap in the version I use. I saw this only now.

This is Gambas 3.15.2 (isn't that the latest version?) running under 
Ubuntu Mate 18, and the project uses gb.qt4 + gb.qt4.ext. The reason 
might be that in the past I needed one or two of the special things that 
come with qt4.ext.

So I wonder if I can easily switch to another component without loosing 
some feature somewhere else I do not remember. The project is rather old 
and rather big.

Anyone with an idea?
