Sounds like you have truncate-lines set true.  Try setting it nil (also
truncate-partial-width-windows (or don't split horizontally (^X 5))).

Documentation:

  truncate-lines's value is nil

  Documentation:
  *Non-nil means do not display continuation lines;
  give each line of text one screen line.
  Automatically becomes local when set in any fashion.

  Note that this is overridden by the variable
  truncate-partial-width-windows if that variable is non-nil
  and this buffer is not full-screen width.

----
  truncate-partial-width-windows's value is t

  Documentation:
  *Non-nil means truncate lines in all windows less than full screen wide.
