Ok, I just discovered this only happens when I enable Kolors. I am using
force-ansi-8color. When I change to no-colors this problem goes away and a
select ends at the end of the line -- not the end of the viewable screen. Could
turning on kolors result in spaces addes at end in order to pad out the line and
therefore show the background color uniformly or something along those lines?

Thanks, Jim
