When selecting the install procedure, it lists the targets to install, but it doesn't wrap the list around to the next line, instead it just stays on the same line, effectively truncating the list.

Reason for closing:  Not a bug
Additional comments about closing:  package list is visible in multiple other places, such as the interface where you choose packages to install

The list of packages (targets) it shows when you initiate the install procedure.

when you initiate the "install procedure" (assuming you mean AIF interactive procedure, started by /arch/setup - is it really that hard to tell me the name of the command or other "thing you do" ?), you should see an intro dialog, followed by a menu of steps, so that can't be it.
I assume you mean the package installation step in the procedure (is it really that hard to tell me the title of the menu entry you pick?), it just runs pacman.

since you are a TU, you should really learn how to phrase bugreports.

I have a screenshot which would show you what I mean. I honestly thought I was being precise in my description.

in this case, "Targets" is pacman terminology. What you see is just the pacman output (well, part of it), I think it's very unimportant to be able to see the packages again here, because this step gets executed right after *you* selected which packages you want.
Besides, you can always look in pacman.log, this is told to you in the installation guide, and I think by aif itself.
