Description
I notice that prompt-toolkit will soft-wrap lines in prompt which is too long. Is there any way to stop the wrap lines feature of prompt-toolkit and let the terminal emulator do the soft wrap (just like what GNU readline does)? This'll make copying long line more seamlessly if the wrapping is done by the temrinal.
PS: wrap_lines=False is not what I am asking, with this settings, it not only stop the wrap but creates a horizontal scrollable textarea.

Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating prompt-toolkit's prompt rendering and line-wrapping implementation, then compare it with the existing wrap_lines=False behavior. Done means long prompt lines are soft-wrapped by the terminal without creating the horizontal-scroll behavior described in the issue.
