Nevertheless you can describe your problem/question/whatever in
annoying, painstaking detail.

I have enabled it by default because overlong lines are bad netiquette
and most people like to have it on by default. Cf. the FAQ (info

As you already guessed, the behavior changed since 5.10.*, so it's
quite plausible to look under "New Features" in the manual or
something names "*-NEWS" in the distribution tar-ball. Isn't it?

cd texi; make pdf
