Description
Lines that are longer than the terminal width are not handled correctly in the terminal pager, which assumes they are just one line when written to the terminal whereas they will actually be more than one. This will need a calculation of the length of each line, ignoring ansi color codes.

Research direction
Start at the terminal pager implementation and reproduce the problem with lines longer than the terminal width, including ANSI color codes. The work is done when the pager accounts for the displayed width of each line and handles long colored lines correctly.
