Description basilbourque 2011-01-24 07:25:05 UTC
Go to Preferences > Editor > Formatting (tab).
Set Language to "Java".
Set Category to "Wrapping".
Note that the pane on the left has a series of popup menus set to "Never" or "Always". 
The display of those popup menus is being clipped on the right side. The pane is not wide enough. No gripper provided to allow the user to widen that pane.

I'm guessing the cause is that Apple's implementation of Java on Mac OS X draws the popup menu wider than other platforms.

Not critical, just aesthetic. User may proceed.
