This is a feature (since it is documented) and not a bug. Under
:help auto-format
(Follow the link from the "a" flag in :help fo-table .) there is the note
- Set 'textwidth' to the desired width. If it is zero then 79 is used, or the
width of the screen if this is smaller.
I am not saying I like this, but then I do not like the "a" flag at all.
