Bad Behaviour
When using "Word Wrap" and typing in a sentence:
once at the end of the line on the screen, before it should wrap.
if you type in a space it is not shown or does the cursor move to the next line down as the line should wrap.
keep on pressing spaces then the line column count goes up but the cursor still sits unmoved on the end of the line.
then type in some text and immediately the line wraps, but you cannot see how many spaces you typed.
Once you go out of work wrap mode you see the gap due to the spaces.
Is this the right behaviour for "word wrap" or would it be better to wrap at the end of the line regardless of typing a space character or a visible character?
I am not saying it is necessarily a problem, just asking if there should be a standard behaviour in this case.
