I have "Display lines with word wrap " selected by default. When I open my first file this option works, but on second file opening in a new tab there's no word wrap and I've to reselect the option. Ticking "Configure all buffers" does not help.

Running Vedit 6.13.1 on Win2K Pro SP4

Any confirmation?

You should check the settings in the File-Open-Configuration (in the
directory vedit\file-cfg).

There may exist config files for file extensions which are overwriting
your global setting.

There are more infos about this in the online help:
VEDIT Advanced Topics - File-open Configuration

Nice suggestion but this doesn't seem to be the culprit
because

- original testing was done with plain text files, without filename
extension (and I have no filename specific settings)

- repeated testing with .txt extension added and File-open
configuration disabled yields the same results

An easy workaround is to enable File-open configuration, define your
preferred settings for the specific file type and use consistent
filename extensions (and most possibly disable Auto-save config).

Which brings forth another question: I open a .txt file with File-open
config enabled, word wrap enabled for .txt and Auto-save enabled; I
then deselect word wrap using the toolbar button and exit Vedit. On
restarting Vedit and opening a .txt file word wrap is still there by
default, but the configuration change was supposed to be (auto)saved
on exit. Or am I wrong?

The file-open configuration changes never auto-save.
You must explicitly save changes with {CONFIG, File-open config, Save filename extension config}.

Ooops, I'm afraid I misunderstood the Help file, I mixed up Save
config and Filename extension save config. Thanks
