Long descriptions wrap incorrectly
----------------------------------
Key: CLI-176
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CLI-176
Project: Commons CLI
Issue Type: Bug
Components: Help formatter
Affects Versions: 1.1
Environment: Ubuntu 8.10, Java 6 Update 10.
Reporter: Kamil Páral
Attachments: bug.png
When some option has a really long description (at least 3 lines), it wraps
incorrectly. See attached picture, it's a total mess.
The problem is, you have default width set to 74 characters. But when you are
printing the second line of the description, you forget to count also the
preceding white space into the 74 characters. Therefore the second line wraps
into a third line. After all 74 characters are printed, you start again on
fourth line with a correct preceding white space. And over and over again.
This fix should be really easy. Just count the whitespace.
