In my opinion? it SHOULD say 3. 2 lines with stuff, and 1 blank.
Of course
it says 2, but this is the same reason people "delete the last char
of.."
when doing things. If you fill a field with "this" & cr & "that" &
cr, and
then click at the bottom of the field, your cursor goes to the blank
line
underneath the 2 lines with text. The line exists, it should be
counted.
Looking at it the other way, if you put fred into line 1 of field 1,
put
mike into line 2 of field 1, the cr is added between the 2
automatically,
but there is no extra trailing line. There are 2 lines.
Having text for line 1 & cr empty for line 2 & cr text for line 3,
at that
point, line 2 looks and acts exactly like line 2 would look and
behave if
there were no line 3. You can click in it, type in it, it acts like
a line.
And is counted as a line like it should be. If however it is a
trailing
empty line it is not counted. It's the same exact thing. A cr
followed by
empty. Simply adding another line after it shouldn't make it
magically
appear as a line. either it is or it isn't, at least so it seems to
me.
Having said all this, there is most likely a reason it is the way it
is that
I don't have enough knowledge to understand. As with removing
trailing
carriage returns, if it's a null item it isn't difficult to work
around and
i'm not sure I can come up with a valid reason for actually having
an empty
item, but that doesn't mean there isn't a use for it. /shrug
As a last visual example, I have several spice bottles in my
kitchen, some
of which are empty. If I re-arrange them so that an empty one is on
the end
of the row it doesn't cease to exist, and it doesn't pop back in to
being
because i put it between 2 spice bottles that DO have contents.

Actually, I think that's exactly the problem. "a,b,,," has 4

type of invisible char after the trailing , makes it 5 items. It
drives
me
nuts, if the comma is there it should designate a null item
whether its in
the middle or at the end.
Okay, then how many lines should be in:
a<cr>
b<cr>
?
