I have a spreadsheet with the text below in one cell. Font Arial 10.
The cell is set to wrap text and to allow two lines of text (cell height
24). If I am in text edit mode on that cell, it shows as indicated below
(the bar at the right of the first line being the approximate cell
boundary). But as soon as I move my focus, the last word on the second
line wraps to a third line (out of sight!) Since the second line is
shorter than the first in any font I have tried, and particularly in
Arial 10, this does not make sense.
Can anyone tell me why it is doing this, and how I can prevent it other
than by extending my cell width? I have to extend my cell width so that
"breakfast" will stay on the first line, before "quickly"
will stay on
the second line.

Occasionally, I do observe strange text-wrap behavior (both in QP and Excel),
but in this case the quoted text wraps fine in my version (v8).
Was the text entered manually or copied from elsewhere? Do you get the same
effect if entering this text in a blank notebook?

Hi Uli.
I finally had time to go back to this.
If I paste the same text into a new document, with the same cell
settings, I get the same results.
If I type the same text into a new document, with the same cell
settings, I get the desired results, i.e., the last word does not
unexpectedly wrap to a third line.
If I then paste that text back into the original spreadsheet, I get the
desired results. It seems that there must be something else in that
original text, but it does not show anywhere except in that wrap.

Seems that way. Admittedly, it was a long shot, but hey ... all's well that
ends well.
