PL/I-Editor Right Margin Behaviour

Within the preferences of the PL/I-Editor you can enable “Disable Right Margin” and identifiy the Column for that margin (eg 73). With hat margin enabled we would like to see the same behaviour that you have with the LPEX-Editor – that means that you can't go over the defined column. The first video shows the PL/I-Editor – as you can see you can go over the boundary. The second video shows the LPEX-Editor – there you can only to to the right margin and no step further. That´s what we also want within the PL/I-Editor when we active the right margin with the preferences.

    Thank you for taking the time to suggest an enhancement to our product. Many of our product enhancements result from feedback from our customers, so your input is always very important to us. At this time, your request for enhancement is not currently aligned with our product strategy and vision and we have no plans to address your request in the near future. Again, thank you for your suggestion and continued support.

    A preliminary evaluation of this request indicates that it is consistent with our business strategy. Further evaluation of this RFE is underway.

    That would annoy me if the line could not go over the boundary.
    I show the vertical line and then it is easy to see I need to break the line.
    If I start typing it would be an interruption if I was stopped.
    So if this is going to be implemented please make it an option like "Stop at right margin".
