This comment in gtk/follow_[tcp|udp|ssl].c sounds like the issue reported in
this bug, specifically the end of the comment:

/*
 * XXX - the routine pointed to by "print_line_fcn_p" doesn't get handed lines,
 * it gets handed bufferfuls.  That's fine for "follow_write_raw()"
 * and "follow_add_to_gtk_text()", but, as "follow_print_text()" calls
 * the "print_line()" routine from "print.c", and as that routine might
 * genuinely expect to be handed a line (if, for example, it's using
 * some OS or desktop environment's printing API, and that API expects
 * to be handed lines), "follow_print_text()" should probably accumulate
 * lines in a buffer and hand them "print_line()".  (If there's a
 * complete line in a buffer - i.e., there's nothing of the line in
 * the previous buffer or the next buffer - it can just hand that to
 * "print_line()" after filtering out non-printables, as an
 * optimization.)
 *
 * This might or might not be the reason why C arrays display
 * correctly but get extra blank lines very other line when printed.
