Expected Behavior

Terminal chat (Experimental) text should remain fully visible after resizing up to 200%, without loss of content or functionality. If truncation occurs, a mechanism (e.g., wrapping or accessible tooltip) should allow users to access the full text.

Actual Behavior

Terminal chat (Experimental) text is truncated after applying text resize settings. Full content is not visible, and there is no mechanism (e.g., wrapping or tooltip) to reveal the truncated text.
