Well, if you type beyond 'textwidth' the line will be broken. When in
Visual block mode a line is broken Vim doesn't know what you wanted to
do, it's difficult to figure out what you actually typed (keep in mind
you can use mappings, functions, completion...).
So, if you want to get that block with two lines, make sure 'textwidth'
is zero.
