The "circular" arrow at the end of the precedent lines are in fact present. Everything I just wrote is visible. I agree I could add newlines where adviced, but I'm not forced to, though I can see everything I wrote."

The hint I am talking about is different than this. You can see it in
this post:

http://markphip.blogspot.com/2007/01/features-of-subclipse-commit-dialog.html

I just tried TortoiseSVN again and I see what they are doing. They
are using the hint I reference as an indicator to them as to how the
dialog should behave. In other words, if the line width hint is
supposed to show, then the dialog should not auto-wrap text.
Basically it should work like our dialog works now. But if that hint
is not present than it should just auto-wrap the text. I always have
that hint setup on my projects so I do not see the auto-wrap feature
generally in TortoiseSVN.

That seems like a reasonable way to handle this to me. Please file an
issue in our issue tracker. Note that we will most likely not be able
to show the soft-wrap characters that they are showing in their
dialog. It will just be up to what the SWT control supports.
