Description

The command bar doesn't scroll horizontally if the command doesn't fit on the screen. (Such long commands occur for instance when one searches for or replaces a long string.) When the cursors hit the end of the line, one can continue typing, but the added characters will be invisible. This is different from the edited file where the line scrolls horizontally to keep the cursor on the screen.

Micro 2.0.11

Research direction

Start by tracing how the command bar handles input and horizontal rendering, then compare it with the edited-file line behavior described in the issue. Done means long commands continue to show the characters near the cursor while typing, including search and replace commands.
