@RokeJulianLockhart We have two wrapping algorithms, one which is fast and assumes monospace characters, and one which delegates wrapping to the DOM. Please try configuring "editor.wrappingStrategy": "advanced".

[RokeJulianLockhart]

@alexdima, unfortunately, I was already utilising that configuration, when I reproduced this. (Nor does simple remediate it.)
