This gives me vauge idea. It appears that the text being pasted wraps
properly, but doesn't take into account additional text on that line.
However, this doesn't explain the case of straight typing causing misflow.
What happens if you type that sentence (in a manner that works) and then
type more text in the middle of that sentence? Does it go of the end?
Does it ever start wrapping again?
