Enabling  Ensure right margin is not exceeded  doesn t work for me in Intellij IDEA 2018 2  I have found the workaround  we need to change every elements below from  Do not wrap  to  Wrap if long       After that  we can preview what kind of wrap type will be changed by looking into right panel  If we are satisfied  Click  OK  or  Apply  to apply the changes  Finally we need a mannual format by using  CTRL  ALT  L in Windows and Command  Shift  L in MacOS
