AutoSize, WordWrap

When AutoSize is active, the program will try to adjust the window width according to the longest text line, however, not beyond MaxWidth in the [Auto] section. If lines are longer, and WordWrap is active, the window will be adjusted to WrapWidth and WrapHeight in the [Auto] section (otherwise you will get a horizontal scroll bar).

If AutoSize is not active, the window size is taken from the [Window] section (last used). If lines are to long, WordWrap may be applied (within the given Window width). Note that AutoSize is deactivated when width and height are given as command options.

By default AutoSize and WordWrap are both active.
