Summary: display2d and newline

Initial Comment:
$ maxima

(%i1) display2d:false;

(%o1) false
(%i2) expand((a+b)*(a+b));

(%o2) b^2+2*a*b+a^2
(%i3)

I think there are too much newlines. Especially when I say display2d:false; the line above the output is not longer needed for the exponents and should be removed.

Closing this report as "won't fix". The problem originates from
implementation-dependent behavior. I don't think it's important enough to
work around it. Someone can reopen this when they feel inspired to deal
with FRESH-LINE.

I'm pretty sure the observed behavior is due to implementation-dependent
interpretations of FRESH-LINE.

I see the observed behavior with cvs Maxima + GCL and SBCL, but not Clisp.
I don't know which has the correct implementation of FRESH-LINE, or if
they're all equally correct.

I don't know how much we can do about this, or want to do.

Ok, the spaces occur with Maxima 5.12.0. I will make my next bug report on
base of an actual cvs version.

I don't see this:

(%i7) display2d:false;
(%o7) false
(%i8) expand((a+b)^2);
(%o8) b^2+2*a*b+a^2

This is with a pretty recent CVS version.

What version are you using?
