>From the manual:
" When a window is less than the full width, text lines too long to
fit are frequent. Continuing all those lines might be confusing, so if
the variable `truncate-partial-width-windows' is non-`nil', that forces
truncation in all windows less than the full width of the screen,
independent of the buffer being displayed and its value for
`truncate-lines'. *Note Line Truncation::. "
So try to put the following in your .emacs:
(setq truncate-partial-width-windows nil)
You can also have a look at the variable truncate-lines
if you want to set this on a per-buffer basis.
