--- Comment #2 from V Stuart Foote <vsfoote at libreoffice.org> ---
So the text break should not occur at the first logical break--the space--as
normal now, rather against some sense of a line buffer. Ignoring the word
boundary (i.e. white space) that is the logical break when the following text
run is overlenghth.

Buffer would need to be calculated for font size against what can be contained
within the page, column or frame margins. And then it would break as the line
buffer fills. Or for readability would it break for specific characters (like a
hyphen break does currently).

OK, but I guess the real thing is what is the use case for the work it would
require? Seems out of norm from ODF document model.

But I guess would be utility for using Draw, Impress or Writer to author
training and demonstration materials for working with a terminal?

But seems very much a corner case and maybe outside project scope?
