Message Box being limited to one line makes it not so CLI-friendly #3

Short message box of one line hides a lot of information. Since the app is "Optimised for quick use through a Command Line Interface (CLI)", a user might not want to use their mouse to scroll this section. Many command outputs are more than one line, so if a user has to keep scrolling to confirm the output, it's not that optimised for CLI usage

This might be more prominent in viewing error messages:

Assigning severity.Medium because it can cause some inconvenience to the user (since it is meant to be optimised for CLI usage). FeatureFlaw because the message box is less useful than it could be

According to DG it says also that target user prefers typing so I think it would be better to increase the height by a bit, so that at least in most scenarios scrolling isn't required.
