I don't use neovim but from what I have seen from screenshots, the
diagnostics are truncated if they are larger than the window.

Maybe there could be a way to have diagnostics truncated by default and
only show the full diagnostics when the cursor is in the error line. But
I'm not sure how that would work.

For myself, I'll use sideline (https://github.com/emacs-sideline/sideline)
instead of flymake-show-diagnostics-at-end-of-line.
After thinking about it, I actually prefer to only view diagnostics for the
current line (which is what sideline can do)
