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?

version is lolcat 99.9.21 (c)2011 moe@busyloop.net.

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

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" 😄

Bug found and buried.
Latest lolcat should restore satisfaction 🌈
