Frankly, I don't really accept this explanation. With top -- how can the waste 
of an entire character column -- considering how hard top otherwise tries to 
stuff as much information into the screen -- be "normal"?

With editors/viewers -- why is a long line no longer a /single/ line 
(triple-click does not select the entire line), when opened in an 
ncurses-using editor/viewer?..

Step back from the technical explanations of the current behavior and realize, 
it is an incorrect one...

I can't fix this myself, but I do see a problem. If you continue not to, just 
close the PR. After all, Linux has the same problem (or, rather, "behavior", 
since we don't all see a "problem"), so our usual primary incentive for 
improvement does not exist in this case, does it?
