Intellij markdown line wrap adding space

Question

Please see the below images.

The first image shows the issue at hand; When writing a markdown file with the markdown plugin in intellij, the line wrapping adds a space at the beginning of the next line, and it accumulates for each new line. The bottom three images shows what I believe are the relevant settings.

Any idea why these extra spaces are being added? Is it a bug or a problem with my settings? It is really annoying having to always go back and delete the extra spaces.

You can disable hard wrap for Markdown (Preferences | Editor | Code Style | Markdown > Wrap on typing) and use only soft wrap (Preferences | Editor | General > Soft Wraps)
