I first discovered this bug when editing a php.ini file. I thought the file had been installed incorrectly when in fact nano had incorrectly "wrapped" the last word on the long line. The issue is apparent regardless of file contents. I don't edit html much with nano but it's especially bothersome when making a minor change to an html paragraph.

Corresponding source code
The most likely cause for this unwanted line breaking is that the text inserted into the middle of a long line was pasted. If the pasted text contains a final newline, on Putty this gets converted to a Ctrl+Enter, which is a ^J, which means Justify.
