Line Wrap on the notes list about deft HOT 5 OPEN

In case this might be helpful to someone else, I have been dealing with this on OSX 10.15.5 on emacs 26.3. My deft buffer looked like the screenshot above. Resizing the screen did not fix it. After some playing around I figured out that it had to do with showing line numbers.

In init.el, I had
(global-display-line-numbers-mode t)

I added this at the end of init.el:
(add-hook 'deft-mode-hook (lambda() (display-line-numbers-mode -1)))

This resolved the problem for me.

I'm very new to emacs, so if there is another way I'm happy to learn.

FWIW, on the graphical client(26.2 | OSX 10.14.6), you can fix this with the following GUI menu setting:

Options -> Line Wrapping in This Buffer -> Truncate Long Lines

The config setting should be:

(setq-default truncate-lines t)

I imagine you'd want some lisp logic to truncate some buffers, like deft, and not some, like org/md files.

I have the same problem in Mac OS X.
After I switched to Ubuntu, it never happen again.

I have the same problem as well on Windows 10.

The solution from @halcyonquest was the solution for me as well.
