Gnome Terminal text wrap

Hi,
I might be doing something wrong but i can't get the text wrap in gnome terminal to work. What i mean by that is outputting journalctl for instance output long lines that go off the screen (even at full screen) so that i can't read everything it says. Coming from windows you would normally just set screen wrap on in view. I've set text wrap on resizing on in the profile but that doesn't work either. Has anyone else had this problem.
Thanks

It's not the fault of terminal.Disable pager for journalctl, then rewrap the output. Something like journalctl --no-pager|less should work.
