I do not observe the change you reported. If it is a change of defaults,
note that you can change it as follows:
1. In the right top corner in a side-by-side diff, press the settings
icon (next to the arrows for navigating through files).
2. Ensure that "Line Wrapping" is set to Off.
This is the case with the "Old UI". If you are looking at the "New UI"
(which says "PolyGerrit" in the top left corner"), then I can confirm
that the diff view provides no way to change it. In that case, try to
switch back to the old UI by clicking the "Old UI" link in the bottom
right corner.
Looking at a patch in https://gerrit-review.googlesource.com/ (which
uses 2.15.3-4640-gc4c3fba00d), I still do not see a way to disable word
wrapping. I have reported the issue here:
