So do you have terminal 160 chars wide, but message displayed narrower?

Could be. Let's keep looking for cause.

So how bisect works.
You start process with git bisect start as you already did.
First you mark some commit which is good for sure with git bisect good. Then mark "bad" commit with git bisect bad. That will be last commit in repo.

git will checkout commit in the middle of those two for you. Then you build it and test. If it's good, run git bisect good, if it's bad, git bisect bad. Build it and test again.

You need to repeat that process multiple times, until git says that it found bad commit.
