Hanging punctuation when word wrapping

[rnapier]

OS and OS version: OS X 10.9

Sublime Text Version: 3061

Did you tried to revert to a freshly installed state? Yes (ST3)

Bug Description:

Sublime Text 3 will leave some punctuation hanging at the end of the line incorrectly in word-wrap mode for plaintext (and markdown).

How to reproduce:

In word wrap mode this line will correctly wrap the trailing comma, but not the leading (parenthesis).

Will wrap as:

In word wrap mode this line will correctly wrap the trailing comma, but not the leading (
parenthesis).

Resize the window to see the opening parenthesis left hanging at the end of the line.

Left bracket ([) will also wrap incorrectly, but left curly brace ({) will wrap correctly.

It would be great to have more control over soft wrapping behavior. Currently, it seems that tokens with the same scope aren't split (see https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/word-wrapping-in-latex-files-st-st2/1403/8), but there must be some special rules within that because obviously in Plain Text mode, all text has the same scope (https://forum.sublimetext.com/t/word-wrapping-issue/4363).

I think this issue should be labeled major, not minor. SublimeText is marketed as "a sophisticated text editor for code, markup and prose." (My emphasis.) Correctly handling line wrapping is an extremely basic feature of any prose—i.e. plain text—editor, yet ST fails at it.

This issue has been hanging (pun intended) around since 2014. Is anybody listening? Broken word wrapping is a major, not a minor, bug.

The issue has been labeled as enhancement How nice :-)
It is a major irritation but since it is not stopping people from usinng ST3 by large numbers, hence the priority... :-(

Before you jump to conclusions, I most likely added these labels and I deem them appropriate. However, I am not part of the dev team.

I am sorry and I apologize :-(
Thanks for clarification!
