Yes, this is precisely the same problem. I'm glad to see I'm not alone 
in this. My current workaround is to search for regexp "/$" and fix 
it manually, but that's a lot of effort, especially when later 
inserting more text.

Temporarily I would be content with a "select-text -> Tools -> Do-not 
wrap" type solution. Like the referenced bug report says, the real 
solution is something more along the lines of specifying word-break 
characters per language.

Has a real solution been found/worked out yet?
