Hard wrap breaks developer's flow

I want to refer to a 2023 post

and it is simply that “hard wrap is broken and takes a long time to fix manually.”

My experience today was that when I was editing a long bash script, the hard wrap kicks in frequently. Because it is bash, you cannot just break lines like that, so I used keyboard shortcut to join lines. However the editor inserts “;” at the moment of joining lines.

Either the hard wrap or the line joining behavior breaks valid program, and it takes extremely long time to fix. If the developers used their own editor, this could have been avoided (since 2023). If the editor tries to sell a feature like this, it should be stable enough to NOT to introduce wrong code, limit the scope to free text, and give user the _global_ option to turn the smart ass off.
