Description

$ quarto --help

Image

We see lines being broken (good), but at the wrong places, after the line has hit the edge and wrapped.

Seen on a Chromebook.

Research direction

Start by running quarto --help on a Chromebook or comparable terminal and compare the wrapping shown in the attached screenshot. Locate the CLI help rendering and line-wrapping entry point; done means long help lines break at appropriate places without wrapping after reaching the edge.
