hexedit is truncating the address in first line when running over some
terminals. See an example below:
0 46 6F 72 6D 61 74 3A 20 68 74 74 70 73 3A 2F 2F 77 77 77 2E 64 65 62 69 Format: https://www.debi

00000030 75 61 6C 73 2F 63 6F 70 79 72 69 67 68 74 2D 66 6F 72 6D 61 74 2F 31 2E uals/copyright-format/1.
00000048 30 2F 0A 55 70 73 74 72 65 61 6D 2D 4E 61 6D 65 3A 20 68 65 78 65 64 69 0/.Upstream-Name: hexedi
There is a opened bug about it opened in Debian (#909963) and here[1]. As a
workaround, you can set a terminal when starting hexedit, as shown below:
$ TERM=linux hexedit file.txt
or
$ TERM=rxvt hexedit file.txt
However, this procedure maybe allow no edit the opened file.
