I'm running the latest e2 Studio, and I like to have the visible print margin set to 80 characters. If I go into Window / Preferences / General / Editors / Text Editors and check "Show print margin", I can get the margin to appear in the editor, but it's fixed at 120 characters, regardless of what value I put into "Print margin column". The print column setting works in every other Eclipse-based IDE I use, just not this one.
Someone had almost the same problem over 8 years ago, and the reply said "We may be able to patch this in an upcoming e2 studio release. But this is not confirmed yet." Seems to me that the problem still exists, except now the margin is fixed at 120 characters instead of 80. Any chance this can be fixed soon? Thanks.

Hi Dana.You can try overriding those settings here:
Preferences -> C/C++ -> Code Style -> Formatter -> Edit (or create new of your own) -> Line Wrapping (tab) -> Maximum line width (modify the value here)Some useful threads you can take a look at:bugs.eclipse.org/.../show_bug.cgihttps://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=481401Regards,Jayesh If this response, or one provided by another user, answers your question, please verify the answer.

Hi Jayesh,
I already have the maximum line width set to 80 characters in the C/C++ Formatter. I also tried right-clicking in the editor window, selecting Preferences, and setting the margin from there. That also does not change the position of the display margin. I can turn the margin on and off, but I cannot adjust its position.
Does Renesas intend to investigate and/or fix this issue, or should I not bother reporting issues like these? Thanks.
Dana,
We have the development team looking into this.
