Hi all, I was trying to work out the streams mechanism, and found the following bug (I call my streams [left] and [right]): * An unwanted extra compensating line is inserted after the first block of the [left] stream that is as tall as, or shorter than, its corresponding block in the [right] stream. * If that extra line has not yet been inserted, then when two blocks have the same height the one on the [left] is wrongly measured as being shorter. (For a single line containing a capital A, it's 561512 vs 932551.) * This happens only once: subsequent identical-content blocks will indeed have identical heights. This is just a bug report; for me, at least, a fix is not required. Minimal example and relevant bit from its output log below.
