I still remember part of the flamew^Wdisscusison there has been after the bug report. The justification for the space was "space is not equivalent to newline in asian languages (while in european ones they can be exchanged freely) so when there is a space, it should stay". Space in japanese is often used to separate big blobs of kanas at (mostly, but not exactly) the end of words, while a line break can happen anywhere in the words. I don't really know what should be done. OG.
