Bug: Python print() to JMP Log ignores whitespace-only arguments

When using the Python console with output directed to the JMP Log, print() does not behave consistently with standard Python. Arguments consisting only of whitespace characters (spaces, tabs, newlines, etc.) appear to be discarded rather than printed. For example:
print('a', 'b')   # Output: ab; even the space as the default separator is ignored
print('a', 'b', sep=' ')   # Output: ab
print('a', '     ', 'b')   # Output: ab
print('a', 'b', sep='    ')   # Output: ab
print('a', '\t', 'b')      # Output: ab
print('a', '\n', 'b')      # Output: ab
print('a', '\r\n', 'b')    # Output: ab​
On the other hand, breaks work correctly when embedded within a string, e.g.:
print('a\nb')
