Problem with Text Wrap in Editor...

Running PL/SQL Dev version 5.1.5.744.

Here's my problem. I have a 500 line package body which has the following code somewhere in the middle:

INSERT INTO item_cost_tmp
SELECT blah1, blah2, blah3...blah33
FROM dual;


The SELECT line is very long, 300 characters long to be exact. On the editor it's all in one line (no wrap).

I can compile this package body and run it with no problems. However, when I open it again to make editing changes, the SELECT line has now wrapped around and looks like this:

SELECT blah1, blah2, blah3...blah20
blah21, blah22...blah33


It cuts off at 255 chars and wraps the rest to the next line. I have to remember to correct this before recompiling the package otherwise my data gets all screwed up.

I can't find anywhere a setting that allows me to change the editor linesize so that this wrapping doesn't take place.

Any ideas would be so greatly appreciated!!!

The Oracle Dictionary stores lines upto 255 characters, which causes the error. It has nothing to do with editor limitations.
