Unusual unintended space insertion

Hello there,

In another thread i had typed out the number:
1.233700550136169827354311374984518891914212425905098828301668672

and found that after the post is saved here it shows up with a space between the
905 and the 0988 about 16 characters in from the end. So instead of that part:
...9050988...
it shows up as:
..905 0988...

Any reason why this should happen? It is typed as a single number with no spaces but shows
up with that one space in there.

LATER:
I just checked and this post did it too at least with the large long number. But with the two smaller numbers
it showed up as i intended it to show up, with no space in the first number and a space in the second number
(that second space was intentional however just to show what happened to the large long number).

Here is a test of a longer number (1024 digits):
1.233700550136169827354311374984518891914212425905098828301668672027505602802400655375221675464819028978003239221752893009721543515253755840951327209748149707623799982025821953821438255154105041097608669096167770617458321439880567341907722426727532282572711676564449006038727359158754134533333888044868858938012540723567074409544719104740335414843135800568294265628371716195869791778482268750795653386934061357469509083658094097375660667056525833726033019871096382165986161468362693188758656804057129556207021567241075950751018246573653654051780005536997670226801713347222274342457287896357079098696344175998964315394865796514307978533054106600474106293511904237437996071826185668251127217866525724879489669727558219755241460852875274518362408802576787120433250724980043955267067881248066715217069655057959606109532689037378382492251287430860772714532622516359566254632519796149834535750634992058540333716446045896944871399844121912049364539442431149435484633590141348733321948873317045703845453860076437604421739782637722611

LATER:
Ok here we can see that it is inserting a space after the fiftieth (50th) character for some reason. If i stretch out the horizontal of the window i view in i can see that it inserts a space after EVERY 50th character unless it runs out of space and then it instead uses a carriage return line feed.

Looks like they are treated the same.

There is also a typo in my preceding post!
