When using the Text composable, it seems the text is wrapping to a new line when it does not need to because the the text is so long and has no spaces in between. I noticed if I add spaces to the text it will wrap correctly. First image is wrong (current behavior) second image is what I want. Is this a bug with how Text calculates its MultiParagraph object? Or is there a setting I'm missing... Code and images in 🧵

val annotatedString = buildAnnotatedString {
    append(stringResource(id = R.string.attachment))
    withStyle(SpanStyle(ColorPrimary())) {
        append("sample file name here that is long but wraps correctly because I added spaces.pdf")
    }
}
Text(text = annotatedString, style = typography.body1, color = ColorSecondary(), modifier = Modifier
    .clickableNoIndication { onPdfClicked() }
    .clip(RoundedCornerShape(spacing_standard))
    .background(ColorSurfaceVariant())
    .padding(spacing_standard))

I feel like that's how pretty much everything handles text wrapping, that doesn't look wrong to me at all. The text layout algorithm will not break a word in the middle unless absolutely necessary, which is really only when the word is longer than a full line.

For example, see how the same thing happens in both the editor and the page for this HTML snippet

Totally makes sense when I think about it holistically. I wouldn't have a problem with the implementation except that the old TextView seems to handles it differently and I'm trying to reproduce that 😕 .

Where is an example of this old textview behavior because I think it handles it just like compose does by default

[Chris Johnson]

<TextView
    android:id="@+id/messageBubble"
    android:layout_width="wrap_content"
    android:layout_height="wrap_content"
  
    android:paddingStart="10dp"
    android:paddingTop="5dp"
    android:paddingEnd="10dp"
    android:paddingBottom="6dp"
    tools:visibility="visible" />

This ^. I noticed if I remove the padding it behaves like compose does. But if I add that same padding to my composable it still wraps prematurely
