Line formatting

Hello Vim users,

I have noticed that the formatting command "gq" is affected by the options
"linebreak" and "columns": If "linebreak" is set, lines are broken at different
positions if the value of "columns" varies, i.e. a different terminal size
can lead to a different result. Perhaps this should be mentioned in the help
pages or formatting should be independent of the number of screen columns?

To test it, set options with ":se fex& fp& tw& lbr". Then use ":se co=80" and
":se co=74" to format the following test line with "gqq". In the first case,
the line is not changed; in the second case, it is broken before the last word.

xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx xxx

Greetings.
