I'm trying to setup TextMate to automatically wrap after 72 columns, but not having any luck. I disabled soft wraps and set the wrap columns to 72, but TM v1.5.3 is not wrapping as I type. If I select 'Reformat Paragraph' then the wrapping works as expected.

Am I missing something?

Yes, you can't do this, without some major trickery.
