3119	format paragraph produce inconsistent wrapping	onlyjob	andrew_b	"http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=725692

Format paragraph (Alt+P) often produce strange formatting when some lines are considerably shorter than maximum line width. Also it looks like formatting sometimes stop on some characters like '*' even before the end of paragraph so when cursor is positioned just below short line with '*' pressing Alt-P re-format the paragraph down from cursor. This was found in 4.8.10 and 4.8.11. Here is sample text where problem is mildly manifesting (try re-formatting it with word-wrap-line-length=74 and see how some short lines do not change or do not change unless cursor is positioned below problematic line):

{{{
ext4* does not yet have as much support as *ext2* and *ext3* on non-Linux
operating systems. *ext2* and *ext3* have stable drivers such as
ext2IFS, which are not yet available for *ext4*. It is possible to 
create compatible *ext4* filesystems for use in Windows by disabling the
extents feature, and sometimes specifying an inode size.[20] Another option
for using *ext4* in Windows is to use ext2Fsd,[21] an open-source driver
that, like ext2IFS, supports writing in *ext4* 
partitions where extents have been disabled. Viewing and copying files from
*ext4* to Windows, even with extents enabled, is also possible
with the ext2Read software.[22] More recently Paragon
released its ExtFS for Windows which allows read/write
capabilities for ext2/3/4.
