If I have code like the following:

StringBuffer myBuf = new StringBuffer();

myBuf.append("first").append("second").append("third");

I would usually want to format it as

myBuf.append("first")
    .append("second")
    .append("third")

..or possibly with the first line also wrapped. Currently, no combination of
line wrapping settings will cause this to happen. Even if "force split" is
combined with the available wrapping options, the entire line is only wrapped
"as neccessary". When method calls are not chained, the splitting and wrapping
occurs correctly.

It appears that a chain of method calls is not being subjected to the line
wrapping rules for function calls (or at least, is not formatting as would be
expected).

An image will be attached showing a long chain of method calls being incorrectly
formatted. The formatting shown is constant regardless of line wrapping settings.
