Problem / Steps to reproduce

I have a text file named preview-scroll-test.txt

Line 24
Line 25

And I saved below script like fzf-preview-scroll-test.sh

#!/usr/bin/env bash
: | FZF_DEFAULT_OPTS= fzf \
	--preview-window wrap \
	--preview 'cat /tmp/preview-scroll-test.txt' \
	--bind 'up:preview-page-up,down:preview-page-down'

When I execute the script.
Line 24~ is hidden cause of very precise wrapping.
And up and down bindings not working.

Let's remove those X phrase on Line 23.

Line 24
Line 25

Then execute the script again.
Line 24 shows up but scrolling still not working.

Now restore those X phase and put a single # at the end of Line 23.

Scrolling is back to work, but Line 24 is gone.

As you can see, to reproducing this issue, user need to prepare a precise text file for their terminal setting.
Like increasing Line N and # and X. (Or using fzf's own setting.)

Note. When you adjust the terminal screen size, issue may gone.

EDIT: At the last case, Line 24 wasn't exactly gone, but only can be found with preview-down.

Thanks. 0ba0661 will fix the scrollability problem. Please test it and let me know.

fzf --preview-window wrap --preview 'seq $((FZF_PREVIEW_LINES - 2)); yes | head -$((FZF_PREVIEW_COLUMNS + 1)) | xargs | sed "s/ //g"; echo more'

However, 24 not showing on preview-page-down action is not trivial to fix. When we have wrapped lines, we can't no longer just add or subtract the height of the preview window to the scroll offset. Getting it right requires a lot more code as you can see in constrain() function which is for handling that in the list section.

fzf/src/terminal.go

Lines 6078 to 6178 in 0ba0661

	// count of items to display allowed by filtering

	t.cy = util.Constrain(t.cy, 0, util.Max(0, count-1))

	prevOffset := t.offset
	t.offset = util.Constrain(t.offset, minOffset, maxOffset)
	if t.scrollOff > 0 {
	scrollOff := util.Min(maxLines/2, t.scrollOff)
	newOffset := t.offset
	// 2-phase adjustment to avoid infinite loop of alternating between moving up and down
	for phase := 0; phase < 2; phase++ {
	for {
	prevOffset := newOffset
	numItems := t.merger.Length()
	itemLines := 1 + t.gap
	if t.canSpanMultiLines() && t.cy < numItems {
	itemLines, _ = t.numItemLines(t.merger.Get(t.cy).item, maxLines)
	}
	linesBefore := t.cy - newOffset
	if t.canSpanMultiLines() {
	linesBefore = 0
	for i := newOffset; i < t.cy && i < numItems; i++ {
	lines, _ := t.numItemLines(t.merger.Get(i).item, maxLines-linesBefore-itemLines)
	linesBefore += lines
	}
	}
	linesAfter := maxLines - (linesBefore + itemLines)
	// Stuck in the middle, nothing to do
	if linesBefore < scrollOff && linesAfter < scrollOff {
	break
	}
	if phase == 0 && linesBefore < scrollOff {
	newOffset = util.Max(minOffset, newOffset-1)
	} else if phase == 1 && linesAfter < scrollOff {
	newOffset = util.Min(maxOffset, newOffset+1)
	}
	if newOffset == prevOffset {
	break
	}
	}
	t.offset = newOffset
	}
	}
	if t.offset == prevOffset {
	break
	}
	}
	}

So I'm going to leave it as an open issue (tentatively wontfix).
