Bug Description

Ideally, I would implement this as storing the text unwrapped, and only map it to a grid based on the current terminal size. Cursor movement operations would be based on the current size of the terminal, and be mapped from the current terminal grid into either a continuous text buffer, or a line array. Will add more information about how to deal with wrapping in a bit.
