1372399 - "mach bootstrap" starts with a question that doesn't fit in the default size of a terminal

On Windows (which I haven't customized nearly as much as I've customized my Linux environment), if I:

 1. start a MozillaBuild terminal
 2. cd to my mozilla source directory
 3. type "./mach bootstrap"

I see the *end* of a question, the beginning of which is no longer visible.  (And I'm in an environment where my usual scrolling shortcut keys (Shift+PgUp/PgDn) don't work, and I have to use the mouse to scroll.)

It seems like the questions that mach bootstrap asks should fit in the default size of a terminal.

Is this still valid? For me, `mach bootstrap` lists the question and the list of options at the bottom of the text, with the "Note on Artifact Mode" text above it.

Yeah, it's a lot better now, although the the top text:

----
mach bootstrap is not fully implemented in MozillaBuild

Note on Artifact Mode:
----

is still cut off, which isn't great.  What's cut off is a bit less important this time, though.
