TUI mode does not follow "-w"

Describe the bug When open a file via glow -t README.md, it does not respect the setting of word wrap. This is even true if run with glow -w 60 -t README.md. It only takes effect after I excape from edit mode.

Setup Please complete the following information along with version numbers, if applicable.

  • macOS Tahoe 26.2
  • glow version 2.1.1

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. glow -t README.md or
  2. glow -w 60 -t README.md

Expected behavior glow should follow the word wrap setting in TUI mode. Right now it does not do that if a filename is given in a CLI.
