Description
In https://github.com/xonsh/xonsh/issues/2343, users report issues when a long line is entered and wrapped, prompt-toolkit adds extra characters to the buffer, mangling the original command.
Can prompt-toolkit provide a means to disable this buffer mangling when a long line is entered? Or alternatively, is there a way that prompt-toolkit could somehow render the text in separate blocks such that the command remains in tact when copied (perhaps it's not possible with a terminal interface)?

Research direction
No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating prompt-toolkit's long-line wrapping and continuation-indent behavior, then review the linked xonsh report; done means wrapped input no longer mangles the original command or the behavior can be disabled, with coverage for the chosen behavior.
