I know that some some text editors have problems to show long lines https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=172099 . What is the best way to fix the bug or are they equally well?

  1. Modify the GTK+ source code and add a support for long lines.
  2. Modify the text editor source code such that it does not use GTK+ if it meets a long line.
  3. Split the long lines into part (maybe by cut on the Bash )

I'm just a junior programmer so I don't know what people does when they meet a bug that is on the library they use.
