["Randy Hudson" <none@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Any time you call getPreferredSize, the current state of the figure is not 
important. You are asking the figure for its size with no width (or height) 
constraint. The result is that everything will be on 1 line. If you want the 
preferred size with wrapping, tell it where to wrap with wHint.
