[Bug-XBoard] [bug #27650] Line wrap in ICS mode

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #27650 (project xboard):

Indeed, XBoard 4.4 does not join the lines that were broken off by the ICS.
This is intended behavior. The ICS console itself should be responsible for
the wrapping, which might be different for each user: not everyone might use a
window of the same width, and the ICS is not aware how wide the console window
is. So it makes more sense to do this at the client side.

More importantly, the board12 style can be so wide that the ICS puts a line
break in it, and the XBoard board parser chokes on this. Joining continuation
lines guarantees that XBoard will understand all boards the ICS sends it, no
matter how wide.

Is there any reason not to join the lines?
