Can you post the example inline, or link to screenshots off-site? This TODO tracker unfortunately doesn't support attachments.

Like component material.Editor when it's text content exceeds the maximum limit of the current line, how to make it automatically wrap. The text content in picture 1 has exceeded the current line width, I want it to become like picture 2.

This is a missing text shaper capability. Gio's underlying text shaping library only splits on UAX#14 line breaking candidates, which means (for latin text) that it only splits between words or punctuation. The string of characters you use in your example is one "word" from UAX#14's perspective, so we can't perform a line break within it.

To fix this, the shaper needs to implement an optional UAX#29-based grapheme cluster breaking strategy that allows us to split any "word" on a grapheme cluster boundary. I haven't yet gotten around to adding that to the shaper.
