How do I disable the automatic line wrapping in the editor?

In the prefs, I set the "right-hand text limit" to 150, but the editor still auto wraps at about half that.

Do you mean comments? Code doesn't auto-wrap at all as far as I am aware

There is another under Editor/Debugger -> Language -> Comment formatting

that controls the wrapping of comments in code.

Yes, that's what I needed. Thanks.

On Matlab Online:

Choose HOME tab > Preferences > Editor/Debugger > Display > Right-hand text limit > Placement (change the number of 'columns').

The RH text limit is just a visual guideline. At least in older versions, it doesn't cause any wrapping. Wrapping is controlled under Language > Comment Formatting settings.

I don't know if that's still true in the new editor, though. If the online version is different, I'd imagine the new editor is also different.
