[yocto] Awkward line wrapping in bash

[phodina]

Hi,

so I managed to minimize the build image and run it in QEMU. Now I build only poky, open-embedded and our own layer, containing minimal reciepes. The problem with the awkward line wrapping is still present. Sometimes it doesn't come up until I change the size of terminal window.

More interesting is that if I run `busybox sh` the issue is not present and the line wraps correctly.

The issue happens with ssh as well as serial.

I tried to install the `xterm` pkg which has `resize` binary for changing the terminal window size, but without any luck.

Kind regards
Petr

However if I record the session with `script` I get the correct amount of characters per line.
