I have done some further testing of this fault today and the results seem inconsistant.
I have previously noted that the work area cannot be extended beyond 192 characters.
However, I have just looked at my work area setting and it is set to 207 characters.
I am using a screen with X=1680 and I cannot get !Edit to redraw a window correctly
with a line length of greater than 196 characters.
It is inconsistent as I have asked other users with completely different setups and
the maximum line lengths reported are different to mine.
All this, by the way, is irrespective of the “A” parameter setting in edit$options.
I think that, before any reprogramming can be done, we need to get to the bottom of
why there are inconsistencies, and perhaps undertake some measured tests to understand the true nature of the problem. I am keen to see this resolved as I use !Edit a lot for general text file maintenance rather than programming.

- Status changed from Open to Fixed
Fixed in !Edit 1.69 (well, actually RISC_OSLib-5_78).
The limit is now an equally arbitrary 480 characters, which would correspond to screen mode ~3800 pixels wide at 90dpi.
