From
http://www.regular-expressions.info/charclass.html :
\s stands for "whitespace character". Again, which characters this
actually includes, depends on the regex flavor. In all flavors discussed
in this tutorial, it includes [ \t\r\n]. That is: \s will match a space,
a tab or a line break. Some flavors include additional, rarely used
non-printable characters such as vertical tab and form feed.
So it will eat the spaces and the next \n, etc as well.
Hence try " +$" , which works for me.

Yes. I'm a refugee from the Nedit text editor. With the regex above
with Nedit the search and replace of this (underscores as whitespace):
aaa___
____
bbbb______
would result in:
aaa
bbbb
With Geany, it removes the empty line giving me this:
aaa
bbbb
which is not really what I was after.
