In Tinderbox text wraps to the window’s width, however if pasted into another app or exported as RTF via menu File > Export > as Text
it doesn’t.
Using menu Format > Style > Reset margins
works, but how can I set wrapping to the width as default? And why does Tinderbox not use it as default?

Is there a reason for this?

We’ll look into this, but it’s trivial to address in any word processor or text editor.

If I export a whole Tinderbox then changing every exported note is not really what I want to do.
I’ve already spend a lot of time figuring out what’s going on … You’ve set TailIndent to 412. This doesn’t happen by accident, I think.

No, but I suspect there’s a reason. I’ll look at the code.
I don’t see why you couldn’t, in your word processor or layout program, do a “select all” and then apply the ruler you prefer?

Hypothetical: Say I’ve developed something in Tinderbox and need to share the result, so I export everything as RTF. Should I then tell the people who are going to read it: “in each file select all and apply the ruler you prefer”? That seems a bit strange …
Not hypothetical: Everything in me says “no” when I think about fixing each file. Then after next export fixing everything again. No way.

This will be addressed in the next release, and the next backstage release.
