Compare Editor with long one-line-content

Hello,

I'm using the lib from org.eclipse.compare to create a compare editor following the guide from: https://wiki.eclipse.org/FAQ_How_do_I_create_a_compare_editor%3F

Unfortunately there is no possibility to set auto word wrapping to the text displayed in the text boxes. When comparing the contents consisting of e.g. two long strings without line breaks, it is displayed in one long line which is really hard to read. To compare them you have to use the horizontal scroll bar a lot(see attachment).

So, it would be nice if there is a possibility to enable the word wrapping feature to the compare editor.

Thank you in advance.

Duc
