Long status_msg will corrupt the terminal

[plxty]

Summary

For a simple scenario, select a line or a block region that is longer than the terminal's width, use '*' key to save them into the search register, then the terminal is corrupted, with many shadow words.

A really simple solution is to limit the status_msg length,

But not sure what the root cause really is, IMO after status_msg has cleared, the area should be redrawed, and thus may not affects the whole screen.

can't reproduce on master either, could be some issue with your terminal emulator (or maybe it's a development build with a stray print?)

That's really weird, I can reproduce both in openSUSE KDE and in Windows WSL2 (openSUSE as well), suspecting the distro's issue. Maybe investigating how the openSUSE patched the terminal some time myself, sorry for wasting the time🙁.
