The rest is replaced by a marker counting the hidden lines and characters, and selecting the message expands it to show everything. The check for whether a message is too long is redone when your terminal width changes.\n\n**Why**\n\nLarge pasted prompts should no longer fill your screen and push the rest of the conversation out of view.\n\n- Area: Terminal UI\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
