If my guess about the situation you describe is correct, it's not a
bug, but intended behavior, due to the need to display continuation
lines (what you call ``a wrapped line'').

But it's not good for us to guess what the problem is.  So please post
an exact recipe to reproduce the problem you see, starting with the
command "emacs -q --no-site-file", and please include the description
of the display as you see it, and the display you thought you should
have seen in that case.
