Research direction

Start with prompt_toolkit.patch_stdout and the StdoutProxy implementation, then reproduce the example in a Windows Terminal running cmd. Trace how output longer than the terminal width is handled. Done means long printed lines wrap instead of having their extra characters cut off, with coverage for the reported behavior if the relevant tests are found.

Description

When I using Windows Terminal run cmd, run this code:

from prompt_toolkit.patch_stdout import patch_stdout

with patch_stdout():
	for i in range(100):
		print('a' * i)

If characters are too many longer than one line, extra part will be cut.

There is expected behavior
