I'm puzzled by this, and have to believe this must be either a terminal problem or some vim plugin interaction with that terminal.
I just used Windows Terminal (Preview to be exact) set to max screen size (2560x1440) and set the font to 6pt. That results in terminal Lines x Columns=134x585. Five hundred and eighty five characters across. My old eyes had problems seeing that. Still, nothing untoward happened in VIM. I edited some large files and tried various "command type" things. No problems. I'm really curious what problems people are having and what is causing it for some and not for others. BTW: vim v9.0.1637, as I tend to build vim nightly for my regular use. Windows 11.
