The softwraping of text gets weird. See the colon on a new line on its own. The user did not write a newline character, the line is just too long.

The issues are that:

  1. It's not clear text will get wrapped.
  2. Text that gets wrapped is indented, leaving a user confused and trying to delete that indentation.

The fix is:

  1. Add a ruler at the wrap line
  2. Wrapped text should be aligned on the left, not to the text that caused the wrapping.

Related, I think the column width should be 100 or 120, instead of 80. We're not on punchcards and users have wider screens.

I'm onboard with increasing it up to maybe 100. Still note that we do have participants using the tool on a 14inch (or even 13) screen.
