Hey Mark, I've seen this too, and I spent some time digging around in the source today and I don't think there is a way around it: https://github.com/fish-shell/fish-shell/blob/cb352317bdd421d140771de62c23ee3c32138502/src/screen.cpp#L956-L961
Someone can correct me if I'm wrong here, but I believe the goal here is for fish to present something usable in all situations and when the prompt is too long, usability starts to decrease rapidly.
