    The point is, that they are truncated within emacs and do not use the 
    whole width of the terminal. In my opinion it must be the terminal who 
    decides when this lines are to be truncated.

I do not observe the truncation.  For me, it seems to work ok.
These lines

--color, --color=MODE           override color mode for character terminals;
                                  MODE defaults to `auto', and can also

are not truncated, for me.
