Word wrapping around prefix symbols

[locsite]

Does this issue occur when all extensions are disabled?: Yes

• VS Code Version: 1.86.1
• OS Version: Windows_NT x64 10.0.22631

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use the following editor settings.

   "editor.rulers": [80],
   "editor.wordWrapColumn": 80,
   "editor.wordWrap": "bounded",
   "editor.wrappingIndent": "indent"

2. Open a new file and select the go language.
3. Enter the following text:

   var x1234567890 int
   var a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = +x1234567890
   var b1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = ^x1234567890
   var c1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = &x1234567890

4. The wrapped text appears as:

   var x1234567890 int
   var a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = 
   +x1234567890
   var b1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = 
   ^x1234567890
   var c1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = &
   x1234567890

5. It should appear as (the only difference is the position of the & prefix between the last two lines that should wrap as a prefix attached to the prefixed word as in the previous lines for the + and ^ symbols):

   var x1234567890 int
   var a1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = 
   +x1234567890
   var b1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = 
   ^x1234567890
   var c1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 = 
   &x1234567890

6. Any word-wrapping algorithm will fail somewhere because different languages have different needs. Having per-language settings for the allowed breaks around punctuation characters is an acceptable long-term solution.

The reason of this behavior is the presence of & in this list: https://github.com/microsoft/vscode/blob/d8abddce40aee62b166cbdc279e5c60fd9ec4fbf/src/vs/editor/common/config/editorOptions.ts#L6181-L6185

It would be possible to configure this per language using:

"[go]": { "editor.wordWrapBreakAfterCharacters": " \t})]?|/.,;¢°′″‰℃、。｡､￠，．：；？！％・･ゝゞヽヾーァィゥェォッャュョヮヵヶぁぃぅぇぉっゃゅょゎゕゖㇰㇱㇲㇳㇴㇵㇶㇷㇸㇹㇺㇻㇼㇽㇾㇿ々〻ｧｨｩｪｫｬｭｮｯｰ”〉》」』】〕）］｝｣"

The setting will appear as unknown in the UI but it should work. We found it too technical to expose.

Also, you can try configuring editor.wrappingStrategy: "advanced" which delegates wrapping point computation to the browser.
