I would say that's intended, since the "strvals" are a property of the
data series, irrespective of the current sample selection.
Actually I agree with Artur here: In gretl AFAIK any function that
operates on a series is about the currently active part in-sample.
Otherwise your argument could also be made for 'values', but that has
the behavior that Artur expected:
<hansl>
open denmark
eval nelem(values(LRM)) # 55
smpl +10 +0
eval nelem(values(LRM)) # 45
</hansl>
