Actually, it's still the same problem, just slightly different.  With an 80
char line, all 80 chars are displayed on the same line, but the line is
wrapped nevertheless (you'll see the little curled arrows on both sides of
the line and the next line is use to display "the rest" which in this case
is empty).
The reason for this empty line is basically just in order to have a place to
put the cursor when it's at the end of the line.  Hopefully some day someone
will come forward to write the code necessary to fix that (by displaying the
cursor in the fringe, for example).
