Inconsistent behaviour in fprintf output (scripts and LiveScripts)?

The output from fprintf seems to be inconsistent when called from within a livescript. The interpreter seems to be adding extra newlines after each call.
For example take the following code:
K = 10;
for k=1:K
fprintf('Count: %d',k);
if k < K
fprintf(', '); %Add a comma for all but the last number
end
end
fprintf('\n')
If you execute this code in a standard script, the output is formatted correctly:
Count: 1, Count: 2, Count: 3, Count: 4, Count: 5, Count: 6, Count: 7, Count: 8, Count: 9, Count: 10
If executed in a LiveScript, the output looks much different:
Count: 1
,
Count: 2
,
Count: 3
,
Count: 4
,
etc.
Is there a way to supress these extra newlines? Is this intended behaviour? Is there an elegant way of getting around this? (I could assemble the output string, before calling fprintf, but that seems cumbersome)

Ran in:
I agree that the behavior in LiveEditor is inconsistent.
This version is better though still displays the final text on a separate line in LiveEditor.
K = 10;
for k=1:K
if k < K
fprintf('Count: %d, ',k)
else
fprintf('Count: %d\n',k)
end
end
Count: 1, Count: 2, Count: 3, Count: 4, Count: 5, Count: 6, Count: 7, Count: 8, Count: 9,
Count: 10
> Is there an elegant way of getting around this
Yes. The loop itself is not very elegant even when it works.
Although the function you shared is probably a simplified example of what you're actually doing, a much more elegant approach that works in command window, m-files, and in LiveEditor is this single line that doesn't rely on a loop.
disp(strjoin(compose('Count: %d',1:K),', '))
Count: 1, Count: 2, Count: 3, Count: 4, Count: 5, Count: 6, Count: 7, Count: 8, Count: 9, Count: 10

Thanks for the example. It is succinct and works consistently across different environments (at the expense of some readability). I've also submitted a bug-report for the main issue.

Glad to hear it. The compose and strjoin functions are quite common but I can see how it's less readable than a simple fprintf command.

To get the same output for this example as in the command window, one possible approach is to wrap your code inside a function. Here is an example live script:
test(10)
function test(K)
% your code here
for k=1:K
fprintf('Count: %d',k);
if k < K
fprintf(","); %Add a comma for all but the last number
end
end
fprintf('\n')
end

Thanks for the reply. Unfortunately I'd put this under 'workaround' rather than 'solution' -- as I mentioned in my original post, you can get the intended behaviour by assembling all the output in a series of sprintf calls and then having one final fprintf, but neither solution is particularly elegant.
