is that a typo? do you mean ubuntu 16.10? there is no more support for 10.10 
for many years now.

could you please give us some more info on your system (ideally the output of 
rk.sessionInfo(), at least version numbers of KDE, R and RKWard)?

can you give a specific example (R code)? i've never had any issues with the 
consle output, it looks just like any other R console, except for extra syntax 
highlighting etc.

you can customize the width of the output in settings -> configure RKWard -> R 
backend.

if that is the case, this is more likely a bug in kate (katepart), the editor 
we're using in RKWard.

are you suggesting that a user specific configuration changed settings system 
wide for all users? that would be a major flaw. but like i said, we didn't 
invent an editor ourselves but are embedding katepart, so there's not too much 
we can tell you about this.
