As an assembler programmer of old, I used to feed printers and other 
output devices character by character. Sometimes ASCII and sometimes 
some fancy code.
ASCII code LF = 10 (decimal) is the 'line feed' control character.
The output device is expected to advance to the next line.
ASCII code CR = 13 (decimal) is the 'carriage return' control character.
The output device is expected to put the following characters at the 
first position of the same line.

I remember well the nice "wheeling around" when printing p, b, d, q 
cyclically on the screen, separated by CR. All characters showed up at 
the same place at the beginning of a line on the screen.

What a pity: I tried to replay this old joke, but in vain 🙁
Modern devices don't like a single CR and perform the LF action, too.
(Or, as in your case, they simply interpret CR as blank character.)

I'd love to see the trick again.

See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carriage_return
and https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newline

Rainer

P.S. That didn't help you much, but I am quite certain that explained 
your experience.
