Take a step back and ask yourself what the point of wordwrapping is.
From where I'm standing, it's to prevent horizontal scrollbars on
whatever editbox happens to be displaying the text, depending on the
width of the editbox, not the text itself.
So the space seems exactly right. A single paragraph will become a
single line and be wrapped appropriately by the next editbox, depending
on _its_ width.
If that's not what you want, have the wrapping code insert a paragraph
mark, because apparently that's what you mean. If you don't have an
event to catch (in some shape or form; it may be a window message),
preprocess the text before storing it in the database. Not an easy task,
though. RTF gets ugly.
