This is a little difficult to describe in words, but trying it out
should, I hope make the issue clear enough.

(1) Start by setting body_pane_wraps to true.

(2) Create a very long line of e.g. 500 characters, which is wrapped
around on the body pane. (E.g. paste in a paragraph from a Word
document). This text will then be wrapped onscreen into roughly 8
lines of 70 characters.

(3) The up and down arrows do not behave as expected.

I'd expect that in this scenario, pressing the down arrow key should
go to go to the next line down as it currently appears *onscreen* --
so in this example, I'd expect to have to press the down arrow several
times to get to the end of the paragraph.  This is the way that Emacs
works when it is in word wrap mode, and is of course is the way that
all word processors work. However, Leo does not play this way, and
takes you right to the end of the line (i.e. to the last of the 500
characters) when you press the down key once. This makes editing plain
text (e.g. using Leo as an outliner) rather more tricky than it ought
to be. Would it be possible to change the effect of Previous-Line and
Next-Line when in word wrap mode, so that they behave as other text
editors and word processors do?
