Honor Word Break Boundaries for Overflowing Text / Line Breaking for Non-ZWSP Text
Lao (SEA Asian) text that doesn't already have ZWSPs included, doesn't automatically line-break, even though double-select word selection shows that the ICU/HarfBuzz engine is finding them. It would be nice to be able to set for paragraphs the ability to use non-ZWSP text and have ID automatically line-break based on the ICU/HarfBuzz word boundaries.
Not all people will want this, should it should be made easy to enabled/disable, because some people use ZWSPs to manually control layout features, and don't prefer automatic word-boundary analysis.

I agree with this suggestion, and want to emphasize the importance of this either being an optional setting, or include smarts so that it's only active on Lao-language texts (by using a dictionary, or only active when ZWSP is absent), since many other languages also use the Lao script and will want word breaks ONLY at ZWSP.
