Description
When running xonsh (http://xon.sh) with the python-prompt-toolkit shell type, the current path does not wrap if it does not fit the window:
When typing commands, the output is not visible, but appears to be "off screen".
I brought the issue up with the xonsh developers, but since this only affects the python-prompt-toolkit shell type, they asked me to bring up the issue here. See https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/xonsh/FK4rnwf-pus
If you wish to investigate this, I'm sure the xonsh developers would be very willing to help in determining the exact source of this, and if it is actually a bug in python-prompt-toolkit or xonsh.
