Its algorithm does not seem ideal.
Looks like it's expecting the description to be the biggest field so giving it most space. One way I use to get round programs doing this is to pipe the output to cat, the program then doesn't have a terminal size to try and fit into and usually makes fields big enough to hold the data in them. You can get the same effect by redirecting to a file and then opening with the editor of your choice [1].
