Eclipse terminal trims characters after a certain point. Limit width size

eclipse terminal, for some reason, refuse to receive extra characters. My intuitive approach was Windows-->preferences-->Terminal but there's nothing there that indicates the width size limitation.

How many characters wide is a terminal?

IDEA-260785 Integrated Terminal not handling shell features well. IDEA-261136 builtin terminal shows multiple issues with zsh npm-check, etc. WI-58435 Terminal seems to think it is at default size 80x24, completely broken and unusable.

What is standard terminal width?

The “normal” size for a terminal is 80 columns by 24 rows.

Had the same problem with Terminal and Teminal+ in Eclipse, under Windows 10. It seems to be a known Eclipse bug related to the new Windows 10 command prompt: https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=514287

The workaround in the comment fixed it for me, which is to use the legacy console in Windows 10, as explained here https://www.top-password.com/blog/windows-10-command-prompt-new-console-vs-legacy-console/

having same issue with windows10 and eclipse Oxygen.2

workaround for me is to open local terminal when eclipse is NOT maximized, hence eclipse can be maximized again and terminal still behave without characters trimmed

no need to switch to legacy console mode that also worked
