Hi,
when pasting any kind of content into gretl's console, but with a line
break at the end, and then hitting return, gretl just ignores it and
presents a new prompt sign ("?").
This is of course no big deal, but for consistency I would expect one of
the following behaviors:
1) Either the newline at the end is interpreted as "Return", and so the
evaluation of the input happens (including error messages if appropriate).
2) Or the input with the newline is considered to be wrong anyway, and
so the corresponding error message would show up.
How about (3), the text to be pasted is truncated at the first
newline? So the line would sit there ready for execution.
Yes, fine with me!
OK, that's now in git. BTW, I thought I already had some special code
in place to deal with pasting into the console, but I found it was
having no effect!
