I don't have a solution, but the issue here is that in
user_select_syms output is produced with printf_unfiltered, by passing
the line wrapping buffer, however, the symbol name is produced by a
call to ada_print_symbol_signature which uses fprintf_filtered,
placing the output into the line wrap buffer.

You'll need to reconcile these two things.

Given that ada_print_symbol_signature only seems to be called in areas
that are using unfiltered printing, simply changing
ada_print_symbol_signature to also use unfiltered printing should
provide a solution.

Hope that helps,

Thanks,
Andrew
