Hi Tony, fish does not attempt to wrap or truncate long prompts. Prompts often contain ANSI escape sequences, which make them difficult to wrap or truncate.
What you can do is inspect the value of $COLUMNS in your fish_prompt, and avoid outputting one that is too long. If you have any other ideas or suggestions for what fish should do here, I'd love to hear them.
