Microsoft Word behaves in this way (although it stops the cursor moving at
the end of the page).
Care needs to be taken at the boundary when wrapping spaces. Having spaces
at the start of a line means the text is no longer left justified. Having
spaces at the end of a line can mean that text is no longer right justified.
Having spaces at either end means text is no longer fully justified.

It may be by design, but it is also wrong for certain cases. Once
we pass a boundary then we need to wrap. I refuse to accept that
this is correct behaviour. If you think it is, then please explain
it to me and tll me why no other word processor has this feature =;-)
