That would be the good looking solution. I don't know common practices in 
these languages but would splitting the text at selection points with a 
breakable zerowidth space and issuing a local relayout, be all that bad?

From experimenting with www.farsikde.org, I think there are more problems. 
Often the selection doesn't not even appear near the cursor.
