This issue has been resolved.
Descriptive Problem Summary:
Line wrapping splits text "paragraphs" into single-line paragraphs, breaking the intended function of output windows' "max-lines".

Code Snippet (if applicable) to Reproduce Problem: 
mob/New()
    ..()
    sleep(5)
    winset(src,"output","max-lines=2")
    var/text = "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat. Duis aute irure dolor in reprehenderit in voluptate velit esse cillum dolore eu fugiat nulla pariatur. Excepteur sint occaecat cupidatat non proident, sunt in culpa qui officia deserunt mollit anim id est laborum."
    src << output(text,"output")
    src << output(text,"output")


Expected Results:
The entire paragraph should be output twice.

Actual Results:
Only the last two lines of the last paragraph are visible.

It looks like the error here is in the reference; the fact that this applies to lines and not paragraphs is built into the behavior of the richedit control, and isn't simple to change. I misunderstood the behavior when writing that section.

The skin reference will be updated with the correction.
