Questions are cropped, not wrapped, if the terminal is not wide enough

[abelsiqueira]

Describe the problem

If the terminal is not wider than the question, the question is cropped. We expected it to be wrapped.

First reported in JuliaBesties/BestieTemplate.jl#422, but reproduced below:

Thanks for reporting this problem, @abelsiqueira! 🙏

I've been able to reproduce it on Ubuntu 22.04. The problem occurs because Copier ends help messages with \n (and a whitespace, but that doesn't matter) to receive the user's answer in the next line. We use the questionary library for terminal prompting, and it seems the problem is caused either there or further upstream in prompt-toolkit:

import questionary

questionary.text(message="UUID (For existing packages, copy the UUID from Project.toml, otherwise use the one generated below)").ask()
# vs.
questionary.text(message="UUID (For existing packages, copy the UUID from Project.toml, otherwise use the one generated below)\n").ask()

I've raised an issue in the questionary project: tmbo/questionary#398

I guess we can close here because, when questionary fixes it and we update, it'll just work, and there's nothing to do here in the mean time, right?
