WPF text Wrap vs WrapWithOverflow

问题:

What's the "conceptual" difference between TextWrapping="Wrap" and TextWrapping="WrapWithOverflow" (e.g. for a TextBox)? In the MSDN page about the class TextBox there is nothing ... Thank you.

MSDN

WrapWithOverflow Line-breaking occurs if the line overflows beyond the available block width. However, a line may overflow beyond the block width if the line breaking algorithm cannot determine a line break opportunity, as in the case of a very long word constrained in a fixed-width container with no scrolling allowed.
NoWrap No line wrapping is performed.
Wrap Line-breaking occurs if the line overflows beyond the available block width, even if the standard line breaking algorithm cannot determine any line break opportunity, as in the case of a very long word constrained in a fixed-width container with no scrolling allowed.

Hope this helps

Some examples:

This is the original, unwrapped version:

---

This is NoWrap.

---

This is Wrap. The words Remove and Sample have been wrapped at the ve and le, respectively, even though there is no line break opportunity.

---

This is WrapWithOverflow. The ve and le are not visible (they overflow the available block width) because there is no line break opportunity. The All, in both cases, has been wrapped because the space character is a line break opportunity.

Edit:

As suggested in the comments, here's some examples of how Wrap treats spaces. When Width is 100, Wrap and WrapWithOverflow are identical. Wrap treats the space between wider and example as a line-break opportunity, so example is put on a new line to preserve the entire, continuous word.
