Comment (by pulkomandy):
I think there is a limitation to the maximal width of terminal windows.
IIRC it is somewhere around 256 characters, as anything above that has
problems with using curses applications (some infos such as window size,
mouse coordinates are sent as 8 bit values). It is possible to make the
window bigger but such apps could run into problems because of this, so we
must not allow mouse clicks after the 256th column, make sure the window
size is properly reported (or clipped), etc.
