  • Bug with Shell commands in Spotlight

    The new macOS allows you to do shell commands from Spotlight -- pretty cool
    for quick things you want to look up.

    But it does not handle formatting well:

    Anyone else see this reported? If I strip formatting it does show correctly (without formatting, of course):

    man cal | col -bx

    That works.

    Anyone else willing to test this and see if it does the same on their system (pretty sure it will).

    Snit is once again attempting to pound the stakes in the ground as he
    attempts to move his circus to yet another newsgroup.
    Snit has worn out his welcome over in alt.computer.workshop so now he
    is trying to sucker people into his troll farm.

    Don't fall for it.
    Ignore the snit who is also known as Brock McNuggets, among many other
    socks.
