I don't know if anyone in the mists of time has noticed and reported this
feature before, but there is a serious bug in the line folding
stuff when wrapmargin is non-zero.
Repeat-by:
Set wrapmargin=10.
Create yourself a small file with the same line copied 3 or 4 times
with each line just shorter than where the line break would occur.
Go to the last word on line 1. Add in some text to cause a line split.
Got to the last word on line 2.
Type '.' to repeat the insert.
Observe
Fix-by:
Don't know...I haven't the time to look just now.
