I hear what you're saying, but it's not just me that is seeing the issue, other people with the latest version also see it, in fact, the version I am on doesn't actually create the issue, it is a later A47 prealpha that does. I am reluctant to move up to a newer one as all the newer ones have issues of some kind, the one I am on seems to be issue free.

The one that was tested was dated the end of july if that helps, I can't give you the specific date as I don't run it, it was tested by another sysop.

Anyway, I cannot reproduce it, I just notice the messages when they appear. I have sent you screen shots to your gmail and discord so feel free to look at those to know what I am talking about.

I hope that you are able to see them, and figure out why it's doing it. I can see that it's message line length when the wrapping makes a wrapped line 79 chars long, that's when it causes the issue. 79 chars long, plus the white space at 80, means the new line char is at 81 and that's when it causes the 6 blank lines, when the editor is used on a 132x37 system, it creates 2 full pages of blank lines. You can see this if you visit the underground bbs.
