Between the two *smpl* I changed the sample via GUI.
About the rest, I understand what you're saying. Should it use the
pre-sample periods?

 I don't see that behavior here.

 My guess is that gretl's adf routine allows the initial values to be
 taken from the pre-sample periods, if available. Since you have 8 lags
 and by coincidence shorten the sample also by 8 obs, it looks as if
 gretl is always using the full sample, but it really doesn't.
