I just ran into a pretty bad bug in MacWrite or CoreEdit (I don't know
which). To reproduce it:

Start up MacWrite. Set the return marker to the right of the indentation
marker. Set full justification. Type a 1, press TAB, and type a couple of
words. Press RETURN, type a 2, press TAB, and type enough words to cause a
wraparound to the next line. The 2 will disappear.

This only happens under full justification, so there is a work-around.
