Terminal Emulator 80 character limit

Hi everyone - I’m building an automation to read values in a column using the terminal emulator. The screen I’m reading is 131 characters across. I’ve figured out how to increase the visible width of the terminal emulator using some of the terminal emulator settings, but any attempt to use GetText with the entire screen or any character above column 80 results in an error. I’ve seen various fixed suggested elsewhere about turning on extended properties, but that results in my terminal not connecting at all. Has anyone else run into this situation? TIA
