Very long line in VIM does not show up without having the cursor on it

Question

I'm using VIM version 8.2
When I'm on the line above the very long line, it appears as if there is no line below it. (Refer Below Image)

But as soon as I move down, I get to see everything in that line. (Refer Below Image)

Is there a way to make the very long line appear whithout having the cursor on it?

You can set display+=truncate or set display+=lastline, which tell Vim to display the last line but put @@@ in the first or last column to indicate the rest is not displayed.
