Not quite. With your fix, wouldn't this happen?

I write:

        The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.

The line above is not to be auto-formatted. I then decide to re-edit and
insert some extra words.

        The quick brown fox, before making a great howling noise, jumps over the lazy 
dog.


But hey, that line above should have been re-wrapped. Alt+L is out of the
question for a fix because it would get rid of the indent. :-)

The second request is never to remove the spaces after a line or after a
sentence.

My suggestion would be, never to cancel hard returns. This should solve
everything.

I have to hit the return key twice to get away from a wrapping of this
sentence with the one above. The single return is cancelled.

If I type immediately above text, the return that separates them is
removed and the text below integrated again.

  Auto-wrap doesn't remove spaces at the beginning of lines because I just
started this paragraph with two spaces and the auto-wrap on. It's really
the single return that it tends to remove/cancel. Preventing this would
stop a lot of the headache.

The quick template editors have auto-formatting enabled if you have
auto-format enabled in the editor window. Quite troublesome if you ask me
since this is not the case across all templates and auto-format is really
unnecessary in template creation and is more likely to be a hindrance.
