How do I get “infinite” space horizontally? I tried various tweaks in Interface Builder and looked at various Apple guides, but I can’t turn off the horizontal wrapping.

I added “textContainer.widthTracksTextView” to the run-time attributes section in Interface Builder as a Boolean, and it changes the behavior in the other direction; the text wraps at the window’s original width, even if I make the window wider. Changing it to YES (i.e. turning on the checkbox) brings back the previous behavior. (I first changed the horizontal point limit to 10K, just like the vertical limit.)

Yes, one for the text view's contents, and another on the window's title (using the format substitution version). There is a binding for the text view being editable, but I’m not using it. (The text contents property in my window controller class is read-write.)
