Increasing terminal width doesn't address truncation

          > My terminal window _was_ wide enough:

Is there an existing issue for this?

@denelon - I'm wondering if this is because it was piped.

@sba923 - does the same thing occur with winget list 'ImageMagick?

Nope it doesn't.

Seems indeed pipe-related.

That makes sense. We have a default value when we can't "get width" from the terminal.

Looking at this more, I think there's also an error in how the console width is determined. For example, running winget list doesn't use the full console width on my machine, even when the buffer width is set to 5000. When running winget list Microsoft the table is larger, but there are still truncated entries -
