Description:Example, the output of {{core show application Dial}} says:
{noformat}
timeout
   Specifies the number of seconds we attempt to dial the specified
^-- 68 columns
   devices
   If not specified, this defaults to 136 years.
options
   A(x):
       x - The file to play to the called party
Play an announcement to the called party, where <x> is the prompt to be played
^-- 78 columns
{noformat}

Because of quirky behaviour, word wrapping feels random.

Expected output:
{noformat}
timeout
   Specifies the number of seconds we attempt to dial the specified devices
^-- 76 columns
   If not specified, this defaults to 136 years.
options
   A(x):
       x - The file to play to the called party
Play an announcement to the called party, where <x> is the prompt to be played
^-- 78 columns
{noformat}

The attached patch {{ASTERISK-25527-11.patch}} fixes it. And deletes lots of nasty code. It could certainly be improved still:
* not copying the data one char at a time
* taking escape sequences into account when counting back 30 characters

But for now this is better than it was.

Compare {{new-nocolor.txt}} with {{old-nocolor.txt}} to see the changed output. (Also includes a few typo fixes. Those will be fixed elsewhere.)
