Description

Certain phrases won't fully break the word to a new line, instead, it breaks the word leaving some letters behind. Using flexWrap, flexShrink doesn't change anything. Tried several fixes but the result is the same. Indeed some phrases do not break the words properly.

Reproducible Demo

The following phrase will break the words properly:

<View style={{flex: 1}}>
  <Text>
       Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has 
       been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s
  </Text>
</View>

And the result will be the expected, even if you remove some words or letters they will break properly (the whole word) to a new line.
But the following phrase won't break the words as expected:

<View style={{flex: 1}}>
  <Text>
      Animal animal animal animal animal animal animal animal animal animal animal
  </Text>
</View>

This example will break the words leaving some letters behind in the previous line.
If I add random letters to any of these words they still break leaving some letters behind.
Even if I had flexWrap or flexShrink nothing changes.

Have you tried adjusting the textBreakStrategy prop in your Text element?
