I also agree that breaking the lines of the preformatted environment is
not possible. Maybe this is simply a page setup thing, but note that this
happens at pmwiki.org (which I think use the default setup/skin)?

So maybe this is fixed by changing the default?

Another possible solution could be to require preformatted text to be 
preceeded by for instance at least two whitespaces. This number would 
probably need to be tuneable by the administrator (or the user via some 
special markup). I think I've suggested this in a different post - should 
be more details there.

Fixing the page setup does seem like the fastest solution to me.
