EXPECTED VERSUS ACTUAL BEHAVIOR :
EXPECTED -
Word Wrapping should work even after 2.5 sec when I add some text (may be performed manually by inserting some text with keyword)
ACTUAL -
Word Wrapping is broken.

Note that sometimes, after word wrapping is broken, moving the caret a few words forwards seems to fix partially the problem.

REPRODUCIBILITY :
This bug can be reproduced always.

CUSTOMER SUBMITTED WORKAROUND :
I have not found any possible workaround except avoid updating the word containing the carret.
