Try out Z-Shell (zsh) instead of Bourne Again Shell (bash). I too was
annoyed as hell by the way bash handled terminal-width, especially when
one changed the size of the terminal. I started using zsh a couple of
months ago and never looked back.
Don't know if it's possible to configure bash so that it breaks lines
"correctly".
