[R-SIG-Mac] up-arrow in console

[Day, Roger S]

Hi, Hans,

Got another "curiosity" for you!

A changed behavior  in the new interface:

Type some command in the console, e.g.  date().
Now up-arrow, and Enter.
Repeat.
Each time, an extra newline is added before pressing Enter.
The newlines begin to pile up.

R - utilities/QAproteomics>  date()
[1] "Tue Jul 19 12:03:18 2011"
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics>  date()
[1] "Tue Jul 19 12:03:19 2011"
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics>  date()
[1] "Tue Jul 19 12:03:20 2011"
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics>  date()
[1] "Tue Jul 19 12:03:21 2011"
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 
R - utilities/QAproteomics> 

(If one is successively editing then trying a command,
this gets slightly tedious.)

I'm curious if this is intentional and if so, what's the rationale.
