This is by design.
For word wrapping with various justifications it is important that spaces do
not get wrapped to the beginning of the line. When breaking a line we look
for the first non space character that is passed the end of the line and
then break at this point.

Thanks everybody. I'll try and take a look to see what
is happening to make the space "delimiter" such a special
character that it doesn't wrap when other characters do.
