Alpha does not honour the "Line Break" setting in the "Alpha Preferences : Text" dialog, which appears to be a global dialog. It's the dialog that prefs search finds when searching for "breaking" but it is also part of the global preferences dialog, under the text menu. Even if this is set to "No Line Breaking" new windows open in text mode with the default "Automatic Line Breaking".  Automatic Line Breaking has to be disabled in the Mode preferences "Alpha Preferences : "Text" Mode". This was difficult to find, in large part because prefs search does not show the Text Mode preference, only the global preference, for Line Break. This has caused me a fair bit of frustration over a long period of time - which is why I think this is a bug that needs to be fixed.
