OK I think I see what is going on here and it IS a bug! Filter is treating all the lines the way LC normally does, the line without the carriage return. The bug is that if the last character is a carriage return, it is being included with the filtered text! I am going to submit it to the QCC unless someone can explain why this is reasonable behavior.
