That helped but not completely. 

It stopped forced wrapping on a predefined column, but only if I either 
enlarge the terminal window before executing a command or I enlarge the 
window during the command execution.  That is, it refreshes the window 
and wraps the output according to the new window size only when output is 
in process. If the command is completed the output remains wrapped for 
the initial window size.

Is it the way it works on your systems?

Anyway it's much better than I had it before re-install.  

Thank you.
