Description
Consider:
#lang racket
("aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb")
123
Paste this to the definition pane. Enable word wrapping. And resize the definition pane so that it looks exactly like this:
Now, place the caret at the last line, and repeatedly hit "Up" to move the caret toward the first line. It will get stuck in front of "bbbb.
Note that the width of the window must be just right to provoke the issue (with the ending " entering a newline). If the width is too small, the caret is able to moved just fine. If it's too large, it will work fine too.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in DrRacket's definition pane with the provided Racket snippet, word wrapping enabled, and the pane resized to the described width. Verify the caret becomes stuck before "bbbb" when pressing Up; done means repeated Up presses move the caret through the wrapped lines normally.
