Details:

When double-clicking an item in the history window list the command that
appears has an extra carriage return in it.  That carriage return is putting
space into the command line and then it also shows up in the history with an
extra carriage return.

This behavior leads to this kind of strangeness when one keeps selecting the
most recent command in the history buffer:


>>  test assert

PASSES 57 out of 57 tests
>>  test assert


PASSES 57 out of 57 tests
>>  test assert



PASSES 57 out of 57 tests
>>  test assert




PASSES 57 out of 57 tests
>>  test assert





PASSES 57 out of 57 tests
>>  test assert






PASSES 57 out of 57 tests
>>







I will write a short patch that removes this carriage return, but I wonder if
the "\n" was added because of something strange someone might have found on a
different OS.
