OS X display issue

I'm having issues with an OSX + fink + wine install where an older version mushclient.exe (3.73) dropped on top of 4.14, 4.15, or 4.18 fixed the problem.

The issue is the upper 'Output' window is blank for any information coming from the MUSH. Local commands are echoed, the commands go through, but nothing is displayed nor is there anything to try and highlight with copy/paste or recall with the buffer. The input area is fine.

As I found a work around its not a big deal, but heads up to others that may encounter this and for Nick if he wants to diff the code and see if he can spot what changed.

Is the issue a display one, or is there no data there? If you look at the world configuration -> Info tab, does it claim there are lines in the buffer?

Playing with things again today it looks like the problem was 'carriage-return clears line' checkbox. I tried to duplicate last night's issue and couldn't get things to mis-behave (of course) until I played with this box.

I don't know if it originated with a lack of registry entries or just my own stupidity. Quick connect had the problem as well so I'm baffled how it got set to begin with.

On Macs traditionally they used a CR rather than a LF to end a line, so possibly the problem is related to that. Maybe if each line ended in a CR, then it would be cleared, which might account for the behaviour you saw.
