But, as ever, you can of course turn it off if you want, as you have found. I'm going to write a blog post on tips for Scrivener 2 users upgrading to Scrivener 3 and will include this in it. Even if I think you're all crazy.

… it would really be helpful to include the phrase “wrap text” in there somewhere. “Fixed width” was not a phrase that came to mind.

I wonder if this isn't a by-product of the divide between people who feel they need to see their text formatted as closely as possible to their imagine output at all times vs. those who don't worry about it until Compile.

When you reduce the width of the window so that it is narrower than the column of text, then the column will resize to wrap. But it's well known that very wide columns of text are much more difficult to read than narrower ones. So I set Scrivener 3 to use a default column width a bit wider than a paperback so that it's not too narrow on wider screens but is still easy to read. It also makes the text a little more stable for navigating at different window sizes. I have found writing in Scrivener *so* much nicer because of it. I don't like using page view when writing, but I never liked having text so wide either, so this provides the best of both worlds.
