Wrapped text widget anywhere? [message #514642]

Hi All,
I need a simple text edit widget capable of handling wrapped text.
I need to put it into a Form.
I tried TextViewer and StyledText, but they do not seem to honor the
SWT.WRAP bit.

I did a bit of research on the Internet and I seem to understand there
is a standing bug about it because the current implementation would
break things like line numbering and markers.

I do not care about those... and I do not want to implement my own
programmer text editor!

Is there some (easy) option open to me?
I found none.

It would be nice to have a full fledged text editor (and I do not
understand why it is not available, but that's another story), but I am
prepared to drop functionality to have wrapping.

What is the best compromise?

TiA
Mauro
