Also tried :GetRegions():SetNonSpaceWrap(false) but not sure if it had any effect. I honestly don't have much experience with the EditBox.



The used editbox for reference:

Is this already implemented? I didn't benchmark how long it took, otherwise will have to test it on Live as Infus did

Probably could have documented that better, but w/e ...

Ow, didn't know about that yet. I'm a bit used that with most WoW libraries the documentation is in the library itself x)
