Steps to reproduce:

$ cd an_empty_directory

$ mkdir Applications 'Calibre Library' Desktop Documents Downloads Dropbox

$ mkdir Library Movies Music Pictures Public 'Virtual Machines'

$ echo $COLUMNS
80

$ /opt/homebrew/opt/uutils-coreutils/libexec/uubin/ls
 Applications       Documents   Library   Pictures
'Calibre Library'   Downloads   Movies    Public
 Desktop            Dropbox     Music    'Virtual Machines'

$ /opt/homebrew/opt/uutils-coreutils/libexec/uubin/ls -F
 Applications/           Desktop/        Downloads/      Library/        Music/ 
         Public/
'Calibre Library'/       Documents/      Dropbox/        Movies/         Picture
s/      'Virtual Machines'/

As we can see, the entry “Pictures” is broken into two lines.

Expected behavior (GNU ls):

$ /opt/homebrew/opt/coreutils/libexec/gnubin/ls -F
 Applications/       Documents/   Library/   Pictures/
'Calibre Library'/   Downloads/   Movies/    Public/
 Desktop/            Dropbox/     Music/    'Virtual Machines'/

For another reference (macOS ls):

$ /bin/ls -F
Applications/           Downloads/              Music/
Calibre Library/        Dropbox/                Pictures/
Desktop/                Library/                Public/
Documents/              Movies/                 Virtual Machines/

Versions:

  • uutils-coreutils 0.0.30 (Installed through Homebrew)
