That would kill the =E2=80=98-119=E2=80=99 red herring but it's still ugly.

I'd expect such droppings not to happen at all.

I regret that I haven't had time to look at the =E2=80=98new=E2=80=99=20
pretty-printing code (port?) yet, but it should be possible to=20
clear the spinner before a new line. If that's much harder than it=20
ought to be, our red herring's more of a red flag.
