It turns out that the addition of the ETA at the end of the lines makes them stairstep as I saw. Extending the gnome-terminal width by a few characters brings back the original behaviour. So it seems that now a default gnome-terminal is not wide enough. I have not tested this in a text screen so do not know if it is the 80 character limit or the gnome-terminal default width that is the culprit here. Guess I need to engage brain before posting. :(
