I'm not sure, but it sounds to me like you are talking about 
auto-fill-mode, not global-visual-line-mode.  global-visual-line-mode 
only makes Emacs commands act on visual lines instead of logical 
(actual) lines.

If you indeed *are* talking about auto-fill-mode, it is a feature, not a 
bug.  You can, however, manually "fill" the paragraph you're currently 
on by hitting M-q.

Hope that helps,
