Hi Peter,

interesting. Looks OK in my xterm. I would do the following:

1. do command

      )COLOR OFF

in GNU APL to make sure that your terminal is not confused by escape sequences for colors.


2. Forward GNU APL output to a file:

echo "⍳50" | apl > file

This is to see if the empty lines contain blanks.


The output line wrapping is done in constructor UCS_string::UCS_string(const PrintBuffer & pb ...);
Generally PrintBuffer (a two-dimensional character array for formatting
APL values) is responsible for printing and aligning of APL values.

Using OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion and GNU APL 1.2

My Terminal is set to xterm-256color but the same issue occurs with it set to VT100
The initial window size is 80 x 37
Start apl and type ⍳50 ( in case it doesn't display in your email I typed the APL iota 50)

Note the extra blank line

Make the window wider - say 101x38
type ⍳100  (iota 100)

Note that now there is an addition blank line

The larger the ⍳ the more blank lines - try ⍳1000 (⍳1000)

Here is a Grab of the Terminal window



I have been able to build, debug, launch GNU APL using Apples development IDE called Xcode. So if you point me at the correct file on which to place breakpoints maybe I can help in finding out what's going on.

respect…..

Peter
