The main bug is that the spaces are _not_ inserted - programatic inspection or additional non-space character insertion shows that the spaces are not there.

I also disagree that this behaviour is expected - the other browsers handle this by wrapping on space, as do many other apps - textedit likely has this behavior because it may use webkit under the covers? I have several users who have reported this as a bug, reinforcing the view that the behaviour is unexpected.

Best,

P
