[SOLVED] Arch terminal issues

Question

Having some trouble with my terminal in Arch. I currently have Arch running with i3 and using Terminator emulating xterm. Everything is fine except something is causing the terminal instance to wrap the cursor way too earlier (before the end of the columns) and it wraps back to the start of the line rather than the beginning of a new line. I'm not sure how this would have happened or if there is some option to fix this. It works fine when I have no seperate tiles, adding vertical tiles causes the weird word wrap but horizontal tiling doesn't affect it. It's almost like its trying to programmatically figure out the word wrap point but gets halved with you add vertical tiles
Thanks for any help!
