WP Editor Wraps Text BEFORE Reaching Edge Of Text Box
-
When editing/adding text in the editor, it will automatically WRAP to the next line about half way across the text box leaving 50% of editor empty. I can’t center images or text, nor place columns accurately because of this issue.
Any help would awesome.
PS – PLEASE do not include coding as answers. That won’t fix the issue with the editor wrapping too soon. Also I would have uploaded a screen capture – but apparently that isn’t possible here.

Image links are listed below. You’ll clearly see what the issue is with this editor. As stated on the images, the themes are not the fault. Nor is it my browser. FOUR themes are being used on 4 sites. I tested the visual editor in Firefox, Cyberfox, Google Chrome, XChromium and MSN’s IE 11. Same results in all of them. Here are the links requested:

Please view them in proper order. Thanks for the help. I’d really like to know WHY this is happening.

Hello Timethief.
Thanks for getting back really fast. The visual editor shrinks my text to use only half of the text typing area within the editor. The requested image links are:
Bad Editor #1
http://15thparallelphotography.tk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Bad-Editor-1.jpgBad Editor #2
http://15thparallelphotography.tk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Bad-Editor-2.jpgBad Editor #3
http://15thparallelphotography.tk/wp-content/uploads/2017/10/Bad-Editor-3.jpgI believe they clearly show the problem. I have checked and know for a fact my THEMES are not the issue. I use 4 different themes from different years. I also checked my browsers: Chrome, Firefox, XChromium, and IE11. It made no difference which browser was used. It made difference which theme I accessed. the editor just won’t work right.
This issue applies to my official photography websites, not my WP site. Haven’t gotten to that yet. Need my official sites running first. They are my reference points.

Hi there,
Your screen shots are for a site using the self-hosted WordPress.org software. We can only help with sites running on WordPress.com in these forums.
If I had to guess I’d say it’s because you are using a very wide screen, but the editor will only display content up to the maximum width of the content area of the theme you’re using, exactly to prevent layout issues in the published post.
If that’s not working correctly it could be an issue with the editor, with the theme, or even a plugin overriding settings from either of those. Whatever the cause, we’re not able to help you in these forums. The users in the self-hosted WordPress forums should be able to point you in the right direction, though:
