Description
Describe the bug
The default 80 character limit (inc prompt) means its fairly likely users copy pasting commands will hit the limit and see characters wrapping over existing input. Is there a reason not to add COLUMNS = 200 / greater to the default .bashrc? (Or achieve same outcome another way)

Research direction
Start by locating how the default .bashrc is created or loaded, then reproduce the wrapping behavior with a long pasted command under the default 80-column setting. Check whether COLUMNS or another terminal-width setting controls the problem; done means pasted input no longer overwrites existing text at the default configuration, with any relevant coverage updated.
