Sorry to bump this very old bug, but I found it very hard to find any help on this issue, so I wanted to post some more information here.
An upstream bug covering this issue can be found at <https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625955>. @lowang: That plugin does not resolve the issue. It removes user- placed whitespace, but not the magical hidden newline at the end of the file. Does a plugin exist which can do this? Is such a thing even possible, given how Gedit inserts it? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #625955 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=625955 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/379367 Title: Gedit adding a newline at the end of file should be configurable To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gedit/+bug/379367/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
