Re: Problem with displaying "wide" tables in psql

Hi,

This is my review about 3th version of the patch. It is an useful
improvement in my opinion. It worked well on my environment.

I do not like this logic on the IsWrappingNeeded function. It does not
seems right to check the environment variables for less. It would be hard
to explain this behavior to the users. It is better to make this only
the behavior of the wrapped format in expanded mode, in my opinion.

Is it necessary to keep this old print line code? It seems to me the new
code works well on (dlineptr[line_count].width <= dwidth) condition.
