remove some support for long lines from source editor

A code editor is unlikely to need support for extremely long lines. And that kind of scroll is jarring anyway in a code editor. We don't read code like a novel, and less scroll per page implies more scrolling work.

I'd gotten rid of this functionality and the test for it [1] back in the spokecone fork, but only took out the test when first pulling it into the source editor.
