How to change gnome-terminal command line behavior from scrolling left mode to wrapping mode

Lorenzo, thanks for your reply.

Unfortunately,  your suggestion does not solve  the issue I have with
the gnome-terminal behaviour.
I am not asking for the help  how to change the behaviour of the
___vertical___ scrolling.
My question is related to the horizontal scrolling.
 For example, when I type a looooooong  command line, I do not want
that the CL (command line)  starts shifting
toward left when I reach the right terminal border (aka right terminal
edge).  I want that my typing continues on the next line (aka wrap
around).
I˙ve spent already hours googling the net to no avail.

Any help (hint, advice, pointer to the RTFM) is more than welcome.

Igor
