BUG: Reviewing Changes: Deleted code snippet does not wrap

💬 Feature/Topic Area

Copilot Agent Mode

Body

When reviewing code changes one by one, code snippets in red (deleted) do not follow the VS Code "Word Wrap" setting.
So when Word Wrap is enabled, you cannot see the full deleted code snippet, there is no scroll to right available, and it just cuts off on the right side.

This is clearly a bug.

Thank you.

Description:
When reviewing code changes one by one in Copilot Agent Mode, code snippets marked as deleted (red) do not respect the VS Code editor.wordWrap setting. While added lines (green) behave correctly, deleted lines that exceed the viewport width are clipped.

Steps to Reproduce:

Set Editor: Word Wrap to on (or wordWrapColumn / bounded) in VS Code settings.

Open Copilot Agent Mode and initiate a diff review (viewing changes one by one).

Observe a "deleted" hunk with a line longer than the panel width.

Actual Behavior:

The red deleted lines are cut off on the right side.

No horizontal scrollbar appears for the deleted section.

The lines do not wrap, despite the global setting.

Expected Behavior:

Deleted lines should wrap according to the editor.wordWrap setting OR provide a horizontal scrollbar (overflow-x) to match the standard VS Code diff editor behavior.

Temporary Workaround:
Set "editor.wordWrap": "off". This restores the horizontal scrollbar functionality, though it disables wrapping globally.

Potential Root Cause:
The renderer for deleted hunks in the Agent Mode UI likely lacks overflow-x: auto or a defined wrapping container, causing it to fail to inherit the editor's layout configurations.

I experience the same issue, not sure if it was caused by some of my changes of settings though.
