Basically what happens is that when entering text, copy & pasting text or
loading a file
the word wrapping runs into the margin. The text in the document appears
properly (font / size etc..)
but runs beyond the extent of the document into the background.
This then causes the view to be drawn improperly, which eventually leads to
a crash.

It has been in the BeOS build since I started working on it, so, at least 2
months.
