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.
