Footer wraps when < 88 characters wide #7939

What happened?

The footer display (directory, sandbox, and model status) wraps to a stacked 3-row display when the window size is < 88 characters wide.

What did you expect to happen?

I think this behaviour is unexpected. The code for detecting a narrow window looks for < 80 characters, but because there is an overall sizable right-hand-size margin (10%), narrow width mode is triggered even for windows of standard 80x24 size. The footer display should optimize for standard-sized windows where possible.
