Comment:

 Actually that doesn't work.

 ''white-space: nowrap'' takes care of actual HTML elements. The text
 inside a textarea is not html therefore isn't affected by nowrap.

 In fact, CSS has no attributes for textareas when it comes to wrapping.

 There is a "solution": ''wrap="off"'' as a textarea setting.
 The problem is that it's non-standard although understood by both Firefox
 and IE.

 So now you've got a choice:
 1. In theme-editor.php, line 198, add wrap="off" and then break the HTML
 validation
 2. Make the textarea a tinymce edit box
 3. Live with the word wrapping and use notepad/gedit to copy/paste to.

 I vote for #3.

 #2 is also acceptable, since I doubt people are gonna commit suicide
 waiting for tinymce to load.
