head -n 100 /dev/urandom | tr -cd '[:alnum:]' | fold | cat -n | lolcat

The same command prints fine here. What version of lolcat do you have?

Does the problem also occur with head -n 100 /dev/urandom | base64 | head -n 70 | lolcat?

l3nn4rt commented 5 years ago

happens also with that command, but is less visible:

Sorry, can't reproduce this here. Weird wraps in the color cycle are normally due to unintended line-breaks, but that doesn't seem to be the case here (still space left on the right of your screenshot).

Things you could try:

Different terminal emulator
Installing lolcat from rubygems (gem install lolcat) instead of using a packaged version

l3nn4rt commented 5 years ago

still happening with:

all (terminal, shell) in {gnome-terminal, tilix, terminator} x {zsh,bash},
package (ver. 99.9.69) from rubygems

I won't dive deeper into this. leaving open just in case anyone experiments the same "feature" :smile:

Bug found and buried. Latest lolcat should restore satisfaction 🌈
