$ man readline
<-------------------------------------------------------------------
horizontal-scroll-mode (Off)
   When  set  to  On, makes readline use a single line for display,
   scrolling the input horizontally on a single screen line when it
   becomes  longer  than the screen width rather than wrapping to a
   new line.
------------------------------------------------------------------->

Since the default is your desired behavior i assume you have modified it in
your config somewhere.

you might overwrite it with:

$ echo "set horizontal-scroll-mode off" >> ~/.bashrc

after that open a new term and test - if that works look through your config
