I am using Cmder with bash configuration and I realized after ssh to Linux server (CentOS) that after invoking fzf and searching each line is sort of interlaced with empty line and after few key strokes the search breaks apart.
Comparing to other terminal utilities which worked fine I found that the issue is with setting terminal width which was originally 188 columns. After changing it to 181 or less (stty cols 181) it worked. Also changing this option in other terminals broke it apart.

So is there any hardcoded limit? Could it be fixed?

BTW I love this utility :)

No, I don't have any problem running fzf on wider terminals over ssh connection.

the issue is with setting terminal width

Do you mean that you manually set the width with stty cols command?
