RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Ivan Pesin 2019-12-24 13:51:48 UTC 
Description of problem:

`dnf history` command's output is limited to 79 columns regardless of the actual terminal width. This often results in the commands column being trimmed, and makes it impossible to see the complete history information.

How reproducible:

Execute dnf install/update/remove command with parameters string longer than 24 characters. For example:

   dnf install less vim-enhanced tree bind-utils

Actual results:

[root@localhost cli]# dnf history
ID     | Command line             | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
     4 | install patch            | 2019-12-24 13:27 | Install        |    1
     3 | install tmux iputils mc  | 2019-12-24 13:25 | Install        |   48
     2 | install less vim-enhance | 2019-12-24 13:19 | Install        |   10

Expected results:

[root@localhost cli]# dnf history
ID     | Command line                                                                                       | Date and time    | Action(s)      | Altered
