What
Terminal text is now measured with tabs counted as 8 columns, expanding to the next 8-column stop when a line wraps, and bidirectional/isolate control characters counted as 1 column instead of 0. This runs in the renderer for everyone.
Details
Wrapping re-runs its style-merging pass before splitting, so colours survive the split points.
A line that still overflows after wrapping is truncated with an ellipsis that carries the last style in the line.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
