When the cursor is near the right side or bottom of the window, does the canvas appear hanging off the side of the window, or is it clipped by the bounds of the window?

If it's clipped, should we file a follow up to try and position the canvas heuristically based on the cursor position relative to the bounds of the window, to keep it in bounds?

Terminal should do better than the original and wrap around and edge behavior when inputting text in the IME. Current behavior isn't any better than the original command-line (inputted text is off screen). But input should wrap around like in Notepad.
