Description
Lets say I have the following scribble file:
#lang scribble/base
This is an example paren bug that shouldn't happen in (@tt{Hello}).
When I hit alt+q to re-align it, it splits at the @tt, making the code look like:
#lang scribble/base
This is an example paren bug that shouldn't happen in (@tt{
Hello}).
Which is fine, because at-exps ignore the first newline for text. But lets say that I want to add an additional word, say, prose before the @tt, and hit alt+q, the code now looks like:
#lang scribble/base
This is an example paren bug that shouldn't happen in prose
(@tt{ Hello}).
Note that the new space in @tt{ Hello}. Unlike before, this is not fine because at-exps don't throw away an initial space if text is on the same line. Instead, I would expect something like: @tt{Hell} to appear when formatting, so as to not change my prose.

Research direction
Start by reproducing the Scribble example in DrRacket and use Alt+Q to observe how the at-exp is realigned when text moves across a line. Investigate the realignment behavior and verify that formatting does not introduce an unwanted space inside the at-exp while preserving the demonstrated line wrapping.
