Showing strings compactifies too aggressively

[KristofferC]

There is no need to compactify the string below:

It fits fine in the terminal window.

The reason for this is #34721 so the current code always believes the displaysize is 80. Some WIP for solving this is in #42660.

Hi @KristofferC, I plan to work on this issue. I have gone through #34721 and #42660 and I am trying to understand the progress so far. However, I am new to the codebase, so will be grateful to get some direction on getting started and some hints on solving the problem. Thanks!
