On the window bottom of gedit click on the Line number / Column number section:
Uncheck the Text wrapping option and a horizontal scroll box will then appear. Lines will no longer be wrapped.
If you want the setting to be permanent change your preferences. Use: Edit => Preverences => View => Enable text wrapping:
You can’t access preferences if you are using sudo -H gedit though. You need to do this with regular user using gedit only. Then you can have sudo inherit your user preferences with a script such as this: How can I sync my root gedit with my user gedit's preferences?
