Word wrap fails to wrap lines with no spacing characters

Description

Created attachment 8500 Screenshot of horizontal scrollbar with wrapping turned on

If the word wrap setting is on, mousepad only manages to wrap lines where there are spaces or dashes. A long line of alphanumeric chars doesn't wrap, leaving the user with a horizontal scrollbar.

Contrast this with the behaviour of kwrite (for example) which hard-wraps any line and reflects that with a slightly unsettling, tongue-looking icon in the margin where line numbers go.
