fix(graphical): rendering bug on small spans in large spans (#316)

Fixes: #317

It turned out there were two really. One related to how many characters
were added for the arrowheads in the gutter, and one where the gutter
was extended to a number of characters, including ansi escape codes.
However, because ansi escape codes are rather big, there would never be
any extension since the system thought the string was already long
enough, even though you don't actually see the width of those codes.
