Under bash my terminal wraps to the next line if I type a
long line.

my terminal in gnome when I'm writing a command bigger

ex:
xx/[EMAIL PROTECTED]: dir$ cd xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[wrap]
but it has to be:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: dir$ cd xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
[wrap]
xx/
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".
