Oh, indeed, if I disable line wrapping it works. Are these settings
mutually exclusive?

Ah, now I see. I wasn't aware of the fact that you make a difference
between the different ways of opening the source. My fault.

Yes and no :-)
Intuitive means you could guess how it works. Then I have to say:no,
not intuitive.
But on the other hand I only was used to change between keyboard
shortcut, right-click-menu and double click on the icon with no
special plan because I expected them to do the same.
Now that I understand how the new mechanism works I like it.

On a second thought why not additionally introducing a keyboard
shortcut for "view source with validation", let's say CTRL-SHIFT-U?
That way we could hit CTRL-U for a plain view and CTRL-SHIFT-U for a
validated view. For us keyboard lovers that would be a simple way to
launch the desired view. Yes, I think I'd like that.


And one small other question:
When validation in the source is turned off and I open the source, I
can see a flickering at the part of the screen where the validation
would be displayed (if it would have been turned on). It looks like
the progress bar expanded to the height of the validation area that
disappears when the source has fully loaded, so it displays longer
when the page source to display is larger.
Not a big thing, I only like to know if this is regular behaviour or
if this means that HTML Tidy validates but only doesn't show the
results. If so, doesn't this slow the display down?
