Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a text rectangle that is taller than it is wide.
2. Enter the text “2814 C.S.” with a space in between.
3. The text may or may not wrap correctly, and eventually, the program freezes.

At this point, Task Manager shows two instances of AutoSketch running and consuming 98-100% CPU, causing the system to become unresponsive.

Drawing Settings:

• Units: Feet-Inches
• Decimal Precision: 0.01
• Fractional Precision: 1/8
• Scalar Precision: 0.01
