Umm...yeah. I wish I had seen that sooner. Try setting fill-column to
something greater. It's buffer local too and customizable. I just
tested it with the values you give and it seems to fix this particular
problem. If you set comment-column out beyond fill-column, you get the
behavior you describe.
I don't have any experience working with Emacs when you have a very wide
frame. From what I've seen, there's more magic you need to do to make
everything work than just resizing the frame. I could be wrong, but if
that's the case there's likely one true way to tell Emacs I want my
frame to be X characters wide and make everything work.
Sorry I didn't get that sooner for you.
