[Tex/LaTex] Winedt 10 does not wrap the text

winedt

I'm using Winedt 10 to write my thesis and I have somehow managed to press some button or quick command that has stopped the text from wrapping inside the editor. This means that when writing, the line will just continue, seemingly for ever, until I hit the return key. The consequence is that I can't read the entire previous line without scrolling to the right in the editor. Needless to say, I don't want to compile the document into a pdf to be able to read what I have written. Secondly, hitting the return key ever 15 seconds is irritating. Based on answers provided in this post: line breaks in editors window

, which basically has the same problem, I have tried to go to "Options/Preferences/Wrapping and select the "Use fixed right margin", and then set this at various lower values. However, this changes the margin in the pdf, but does not have any effect on the wrapping of the text in the editor. As you can see from the image, the line just continues, whereas I would like it broken approximately at the right edge of this image.

Any ideas?
