Preventing Leading Spaces on New Lines

Overview

When editing in the ITC, there can be cases where new lines in the editor will start with a space.  This can happen when the MT adds two spaces after a period that was right at the end of a line.  The first space would cause the editor to wrap to a new line and the second space would move the cursor to column 2.  When this setting is turned on, the ITC detects the situation and prevents the 2nd (and subsequent) spaces from appearing.
