Yeah, or more specifically ncurses.

You could hack it into, but then you'd have to deal with the failures. I
think staying with the fairly safe "heuristic" of "the app knows what it does
when it line-wraps" is better.

Actually, no - rxvt automatically wraps long lines, and will remember that
fact (i..e it "knows" about lines). This doesn't work too well in ncurses
apps because ncurses breaks the logical lines down into screen lines itself
and often even uses a rathe rdifferent display order than the logical one.
