Multiselect clips prompt message and some items when scrolling

[robations]

See issue I reported downstream with pnpm here.

The issue seems to occur when there are many items that wrap around the screen and there seems to be an off-by-2 (?) issue with the calculation and the terminal height.

The prompt implementation code in pnpm can be found here:

https://github.com/pnpm/pnpm/blob/100d03b36bd0aefb30fd64ee769d3eaed2ea6d87/pkg-manager/plugin-commands-installation/src/update/index.ts#L212

I can potentially create a reproduction (when time allows).

K, I looked at the prompt and I think I reproduced what you're describing, but I want to make sure I'm focused on the right thing. There are three things that could potentially be wrapping incorrectly, is it one or multiple of the following?

1. The prompt message string isn't wrapping correctly, horizontally
2. The choice message strings aren't wrapping correctly, horizontally
3. The list of choices is overflowing vertically

Or something else?

Sorry for the late reply, please let me know if you are able to recall what the specific issue was. thanks!

@jonschlinkert no problem, thanks for the reply.

Sorry for lack of clarity. I think we're talking about 3 here.

A video may help. Notice how the prompt and the top of the list isn't visible, scrolling up causes the cursor to disappear out of view:

This is with pnpm and MacOS Terminal.app, but I've seen the same issue with my own CLI application and other terminals.

A naive take (after searching the project for "height"), is that a fix could be applied here?

enquirer/lib/types/array.js

Line 605 in 70bdb0f

return Math.min(limit, this.height);

this.height - 2 perhaps?

I get the same problem
