Steps to reproduce:
# Enter "test1 test2 test3 test4 test5 test6 test7 test8 test9 test0 testa testb testc testd teste" -> commit message is correctly wrapped after "testb"
# Enter "aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa " before test1

Result:
"aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
test1
test2
test3
test4
test5
test6
test7
test8
test9
test0
testa
testb
testc testd teste"

I think the problem here is that line breaks are added once a word wrap occurs. Instead, the line breaks should only be added once in a step after the commit message string has been finalized. Until then, word wraps should only be in the visualization and not really in the string.
