Subject: pseudo console and auto-wrap
Date: Thu, 05 Mar 2020 13:04:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <0c9fd8af-bb5a-0d15-5a5a-3fc739d3e6cd@towo.net> (raw)

With ConPTY support, the following command results in output that 
contains an explicit newline at the auto-wrap position:
cmd /c echo a line which is wider than your terminal ...

For copy/paste, this is surprising and undesired 
(https://github.com/mintty/mintty/issues/971).
Can the line wrapping case be handled specifically, assuming proper 
auto-wrap mode on the terminal side, to avoid this?
Thomas
