Although it does actually do what it is documented to do, producing the
minimum necessary number of lines would be better, and I've altered
R-patched to do so.
Thank you for the report.

According to the "deparse" function documentation "nlines" is the *maximum*
number of lines to produce. But, when "nlines" argument is supplied, it produces
exactly nlines of result, and the result contains empty elements at the end.
Example:
deparse(quote(foo(1,2,3)), width.cutoff = 20, nlines=7)
[1] "foo(1, 2, 3)" "" "" "" ""
"" ""
This behavior affects e.g. output of warnings() where "..." is attached to every
call rather than only the truncated ones.
warnings()
Warning messages:
1: In plot.window(...) ... : "na.action" is not a graphical parameter
