Describe the bug Something strange happens when hitting h/left in TUI mode

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

  1. Open wide file (that not fits on screen) in TUI mode ($ glow -t wide.md).
  2. Press l/right to scroll righ.
  3. Press h/left to hopefully scroll left.
  4. Find yourself in a strange place with no clear way back.

Expected behavior

  1. h/left scrolls left. or
  2. Help menu (?) clearly states what h/left does.

Edit: I found no way to scroll left at all. Like once you scrolled right - you're stuck there.
