The above is not odd, IMO, or at least I'm used to it when I use the
TUI: in that configuration GDB minimizes what it displays in the
command window. For example, if you repeatedly type "n <Enter>", the
command window appears not to change at all, because the last command
overwrites the previous one on the screen. I regard this as a
feature, which allows me to see the most of the interaction, without
wasting screen estate to show redundant content.
