[Dxspider-support] Master build 249 - minor issue with console.pl

[Martin Davies G0HDB]

My GB7DXC-5 node is fully up and running again, following some 
much-appreciated assistance and guidance from Dirk, and is now running 
Master build 249 but I'm now experiencing a minor issue when I run 
console.pl.  The issue wasn't there when the node was running build 218.

When I SSH into the node from a Windows 10 machine running puTTY and run 
console.pl, the formatting of the displayed incoming spots sometimes 
seems to be screwed-up - when the spot includes a comment that's more 
than a few characters long the text wraps around even though the width 
of the puTTY window is set to 160 characters which should be more than 
sufficient to display a complete line of spot information.

Here's an example of what's happening:

DX de EA4FME:    21075.0 YB2LIW       IN80<>OI53MK FT8 FT8  Sent: -04
         Rcvd: -16                                     1418Z IN80
DX de DK1CO:     28032.0  RM2D/M       RDA SM-14
                                                   1419Z JO63
DX de F4CXO:     50454.7  LA8SIX/B     JN26PP<ES>JO59FB 529 1419Z
DX de IW6DGJ:    50314.7  OZ0JD        73 Tnx FT8
                                              JO47 1420Z JN63
DX de LA0BY:     50313.0  IA5/IK2JUG   JO59FW<ES> tnx QSO 1420Z
DX de 2E0HXM:    21074.0  JA1PIN       sent -17 rcvd -15 1421Z

As can be seen in the above, the 1st, 2nd and 4th spots have wrapped 
round but the 3rd, 5th and 6th spots are displayed as expected.

The puTTY terminal window is set to use a font of Lucida Console 10pt; 
changing the font size doesn't seem to make any difference. It's almost 
as though the comments field is being expanded beyond what is absolutely 
necessary although sometimes a spot with only a small amount of comment 
information wraps around, as in the 2nd spot above.

Has anyone else noticed this behaviour with console.pl in either the 
latest Master build or in any ofthe Mojo builds?  Is there a fix for it, 
or is it something that will need Dirk's attention (in due course!)?

Thanks in advance,
