TcpSocket and QTextStream does not print first line of data

[nbkhwjm]

I have the following function:

void Rsh::receiveMessage() {
 
	QString responseLine;
	QString response;
 
	QTextStream in(tcpSocket);
 
	if( !tcpSocket->canReadLine() )
	{
        	return;
        }
 
	while( tcpSocket->canReadLine() ){
        	responseLine = tcpSocket->readLine();
		response.append(responseLine);
	}
		ui.ResultsTextEdit->append(tr("%1").arg(response));
}

void Rsh::receiveMessage() {

	QString responseLine;
	QString response;
	
	QTextStream in(tcpSocket);

	if( !tcpSocket->canReadLine() )
	{
        	return;
        }

	while( tcpSocket->canReadLine() ){
        	responseLine = tcpSocket->readLine();
		response.append(responseLine);
	}
		ui.ResultsTextEdit->append(tr("%1").arg(response));
}

To copy to clipboard, switch view to plain text mode 

This works to pull data from the connection, however the first complete line of text is always missing...

any ideas?
