The problem (I think) is that strwrap in character_matrix is not colour-aware.

One solution: use strwrap_ctl() from the fansi package within character_matrix. They claim it is much faster than the base equivalent! fansi is C-based, so you can't just copy-paste the function; the package is about 265 kB; but it's already imported by tibble and cli so probably fairly common.
