> OS:   FreeBSD 10.3 Pan:  0.140 Inserts 3 blank lines.

Gentoo Linux (~amd64 with live-git kde from the gentoo/kde overlay and 
live-git pan from my own overlay).

5 blank lines with the carot blinking on the second one.  As I said it 
has been that way for a very long time.


But for your FBSD pan, is it packaged or self-built?  If it's packaged, 
it may well be that someone already came up with a patch for it and 
applied that.  If so, perhaps the same patch will work on Linux.  Of 
course if it's self-built, presumably you'd know if you applied a patch 
for that, in which case it probably does have something to do with a 
library, somewhere.


One other possibility is that it's a gtk2 vs. gtk3 thing.  Here, I'm 
building pan with gtk2, as we (as pan upstream) have always recommended, 
since for some time at least, a gtk3 build always seemed to come with 
weird bugs... but for all I know they're all fixed now.  Anyway, if you 
or fbsd is building pan against gtk3, that might be the difference.
