L.S.

A multi-line field with O_AUTOSKIP, O_STATIC and O_NULLOK off, will normally
wordwrap contents that is typed into it. Then, using backspace, one is able
to delete all content in the field.

However, setting the field contents through code while not paying attention to
word-wrapping will often cause a row to end with a character instead of a
space.

When this happens, using backspace on say the second row will only delete
characters up untill the first column of the second row, i.e. the cursor will
*not* wrap to the end of the first row. Also, inserting characters on the
first row simply won't work anymore.

Is this known behaviour?

That last part doesn't sound like something I've seen. I'm looking into it now.
