[ES-dev Bug Report] Attempting to modify Description metadata exits ES with a malloc error

Good day,
A recent change to ES-dev Improve text wrapping (rebased #269) seems to have introduced a new issue with modifying a ROM description within the ES GUI. There may be other issues with modifying metadata, but the description seems to be 100% reproducable.

Test System:
Raspberry Pi 4B / Latest RetroPie Sync
ES-Dev Version: V2.11.0RP-DEV
ES Commit: bc4f81b (2021 JAN 25)

Note: Syncing to a commit earlier the same day (842e8f4) does not yield the issue.

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply attempt to modify a ROM/game description within ES

Results
ES will appear to hang/freeze, but will eventually exit with a non-descript malloc error.

Hope this information is helpful.
Cheers,
-Ros
