Enabled Soft Wraps in console for pycharm yet does nothing (2018.2.2)

Went to settings > Editor > General  > Console:

Checked box: Use Soft Wraps in Console

Clicked Apply and Ok.

Noticed no change to console behavior.  Opened new console. No change to console behavior. 

Closed project and reopened. Opened console, tried some commands, still lines not wrapping.

Completely closed pycharm and reopened and then opened new project and python console, again tried some commands, lines still not wrapping.

It doesn't wrap on either input or output lines.  Yet if I go to view > active aditor: then click use soft wraps, then it wraps the text.

My understanding is that the option under settings >…>console: use soft wraps in console, should make soft wraps the default behavior of the console so I don't have to enable it for every console using the view > active editor method

Is that not what it is supposed to do.

Is this a bug, or am I missing something here.  It appears to me the option under settings > editor > general > console is broken or doesn't work
