CK: Source view will not more wrap the text

Since firefox 36 the Source view will not more wrap the text inside the textareas of the CKeditor (nukeWYSIWYG 3.6.3.x). You can solve the issue with a little change of the editor.css files of the skins.

You can find the files here:

includes/ckeditor/skins/kama/editor.css (default skin)
includes/ckeditor/skins/office2003/editor.css
includes/ckeditor/skins/v2/editor.css

find:

css Code:

white-space:pre;

change to:

css Code:

white-space:pre-wrap;

Thanks, neralex. Have you tried that with other browsers?

In Chrome, Opera and IE11 it makes no difference and the wrap works also with white-space:pre; - but normally this is not correct because white-space:pre; shouldn't wrap:

Looks like this "auto-wrap" for white-space:pre; is a old fallback and in Firefox 36 now it works correctly.
