Description

### Summary

Stop splitting long text into lines.

### Background and Motivation

This feature has more problems than benefits.

- It never works properly on non-English logs, because non-ascii characters usually takes more width than ascii characters, which results in worse output.
- It can break up a character from the middle and causes garbled result.
- It makes it hard to copy commands printed to the log for user, as the user will have to remove those spaces and additional lines manually.

### Proposed Feature

Remove this feature.
