Ian, It was a newline problem, just like you thought. I searched the internet on how to strip off a newline, found the 'rstrip()' function, applied it in my code, and VOILA! No more line appending on my GUI.
Moochas Grass for pointing out the obvious! May all your problems today be of a similar nature!

Can you post some code that demonstrates the problem you're having? Are you sure the text you're inserting doesn't have a trailing newline? _______________________________________________ Urwid mailing list [email protected] http://lists.excess.org/mailman/listinfo/urwid _______________________________________________ Urwid mailing list [email protected] http://lists.excess.org/mailman/listinfo/urwid
