Description

**Description**
CLion IDE has a problem with Catch 2/3 support. That is described as [CPP-34341](https://youtrack.jetbrains.com/issue/CPP-34341)

**Additional context**
Catch Framework reports the test list in columns with unpredictable line breaks. There is no way to setup CATCH_CONFIG_CONSOLE_WIDTH parameter from the command line or make it unlimited (at least for a test list report)

Research direction

Start with the issue context and the Catch 2/3 handling of CATCH_CONFIG_CONSOLE_WIDTH and test-list reporting. Done means CLion can control the console width from the command line, or test-list output can use an unlimited width, with the behavior verified for the affected reporting path.
