The behavior you describe is the browser default for textareas. You could change this behavior by adding the inofficial, proprietary but universally supported attribute 'wrap="off"' to the textarea tag. Note however, that long texts will appear on one line! You could achieve this in many ways: editing the template code for the input form is the most radical solution. A better solution would be a bookmarklet to turn off the wrapping when needed. The following lines are really one line that should be saved as a bookmark: javascript:(function(){var w=document.getElementById('wiki__text');w.setAttribute("wrap","off");var parNod=w.parentNode,nxtSib=w.nextSibling;parNod.removeChild(w);parNod.insert Before(w,nxtSib);})() for turning wrap on again: javascript:(function(){var w=document.getElementById('wiki__text');w.removeAttribute("wrap");var parNod=w.parentNode,nxtSib=w.nextSibling;parNod.removeChild(w);parNod.insert Before(w,nxtSib);})() Works in FF and IE7 (couldn't test with IE 6).
