Wrong wrapping of markdown list items at higher levels

[NikolausDemmel]

In markdown, wrapping paragraphs works great for list items at the first level.

However, at higher levels it behaves strangely and removes some text from the start.

- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras sit amet dapibus massa. Ut feugiat risus ut neque facilisis, faucibus tempus est posuere.
  - Donec finibus in mi at imperdiet. In hac habitasse platea dictumst.

--> "Wrap Paragraph" with the cursor on the "Donec..." line results in:

- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras sit amet dapibus massa. Ut feugiat risus ut neque facilisis, faucibus tempus est posuere.
  - nec finibus in mi at imperdiet. In hac habitasse platea dictumst.

If you first format the Lorem ... line (which works correctly):

- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras sit amet dapibus massa. Ut feugiat
  risus ut neque facilisis, faucibus tempus est posuere.
  - Donec finibus in mi at imperdiet. In hac habitasse platea dictumst.

and then the "Donec..." line, you get the following (also wrong):

- Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit. Cras sit amet dapibus massa. Ut feugiat
  risus ut neque facilisis, faucibus tempus est posuere. - Donec finibus in mi at imperdiet. In hac
  habitasse platea dictumst.

Came here to raise exactly this issue.; any chance this could get some attention?

It appears to affect filetypes specified as "plaintext" in the plugin's settings. E.g. for *.md and *.txt, if we start with this:

* For example:
  - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt

then, with the cursor anywhere on the "Lorem ipsum" line, running the "Wrap Paragraph to Column" command (with right margin override=80) yields:

* For example:
  - rem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor
    incididunt

... and repeated applications continue to eat two characters from the text at the start.

Conversely, for a file type not in "Plaintext filetypes" in settings (e.g. *.py or no suffix), it becomes:

* For example: - Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do
* eiusmod tempor incididunt
