This was happening waay too frequently for me.

I would move the terminal to the external screen (which is smaller),
come back later and just see blank - having no idea of what was running
in there.

I reverted the code in vt_edit.c in the commit
3b04c25cf0899b43547eeb61e8dca4c03af4a1ec to bring back the old behavior.

I'd rather have truncated lines.
