The standard NSTextView behaves the same.

Select paragraph (option-p) will select the entire non-wrapped line.

Unfortunately when you disable soft wrap, select paragraph will change 
to selecting what constitutes a hard wrapped paragraph (i.e. text lines 
surrounded by blank lines).

This is intentional, but it makes the action unreliable in macros.

NSTextView doesn't really support non-soft wrapped text, so a paragraph 
there is always the non-wrapped line -- I could do the same, but then 
there would be no way to select hard wrapped paragraphs, and select 
line/paragraph would do the same when soft wrap was disabled (as is the 
case in e.g. Xcode, which achieves non-soft wrap for the NSTextView).

Comments?


Kind regards Allan
