- Cause
- When you open a NetWare configuration (.ncf) file in JEditor, any line longer than 512 characters is wrapped by inserting a hard line break after the 512th character. When you open any other document type, lines longer than 1024 characters are wrapped by inserting a hard line break after the 1024th character.
- Solution
- If your document needs to have long lines without any line breaks, use a different editor to modify the document.
