Options > Line wrapping in this buffer > Wrap at window edge and then
save options will not set up window edge line wrapping in future
sessions. (word-wrap nil) is written to the custom-set-variables section
of .emacs but the default visual line mode is always used instead.
I can get the behavior I want by writing (global-visual-line-mode -1) to
the end of my .emacs instead. Shouldn't this be what is done if the user
effectively wants the default to be window edge wrapping when Save for
future sessions is chosen in Cuscomize?

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

Well, the option is "in this buffer", and looking in the code, it's not
saving this option at all, so I'm not able to reproduce this bit (in
Emacs 28):

> (word-wrap nil) is written to the custom-set-variables section

So I think everything here is working as designed -- the other options
that are saved are global options, and not "this buffer" options, so I'm
closing this bug report.  If there's anything further to be done here,
please respond to the debbugs address and we'll reopen.
