1) Get lha from here
2) Unpack
3) Type "lha ?" in a shell not high enough to trigger the "Press space to continue"
4) Click on shell window's close gadget

It printed unwanted text after it got to the end.
21.System:> ;0;0;0;0;0;0;0|

There is even an invisible "1" hidden there. If i delete the whole line and repeat the command from above i get an error telling me:
1lha: Unknown command

I don't know if this a bug in the console or lha acting up because it got an unwanted exit.

I'll try to find another program that does this.

Confirmed, the same behaviour here... (AmigaOS FE 4.1u2, X5000).

Thank you for confirming

This could be (but not has to be) related to this bug

Both observations (the second one being the "invisible" 1) confirmed also in latest beta.

Yes, I think it is at least partly related, but I'll let Tony comment.

Best regards,

Niels

Thank you Niels

Ping?

I tested your procedure using the "more" command to read a text file and did not see the extra characters that appear with "lha". However, when I display one of the C: command documentation files with the more command I do see some extra characters ( ^L ) where there are formfeed control codes in the text. My test suggests that the extra characters you get with lha may be an lha issue instead of a console issue. A comment from Tony would be helpful.

@xenic

What c commands were giving you problems?
And what were your command to make them appear flawed?

I plan to do some more testing once I'm back home.

Thank you

As far as I can tell all the SYS:Documentation/C/ command docs have a formfeed near the beginning and at the end of the doc. The ^L characters appear whereever the formfeeds (HEX 0C) are located.
Example command:
more SYS:Documentation/C/Assign.doc

Ok, so it could even be a bug in more then.

I'd like to try the commands in a vanilla shell from the 4.1 boot cd...if it doesnt break there, it can be considered a regression in today's shell at least.

But I'm not near my gear, so if anyone wants to do that quick test...
