Text reflow issue

New to the forum here...

Among other things, I use CoolReader to read plaintext files (Yes, I do use Calibre to convert to longer files to .epub, but many small ones just aren't worth the bother -- I like being able to read them without having to go through all the conversion rigmarole). One of the reasons I chose it originally was that it did a good job of detecting paragraph breaks and reflowing the text to fit the small screen on my cellphone.

However, since a few weeks, the auto-reflow stopped working. Now instead of a nicely-flowed text, I get stuff like this:

A paragraph that used
to be long and
now has been chopped
into several
small paragraphs.

Note that this happens even in files that *used* to reflow beautifully, so it's unlikely to be a problem with the file.

I don't know if this is a bug, a setting I mistakenly changed (although I searched through all the settings and I couldn't find anything that seemed relevant -- I even tried changing number of settings to see if they helped), or a corrupted install. I tried uninstalling/reinstalling, but it seems that the settings are not deleted on uninstall -- the history was preserved, for instance, so I would assume other settings weren't reset either. I looked at the SD card and the internal memory with Astro and couldn't find where the settings are kept.

So, I'm asking for help. Is there anything else I should do?
