[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Blank extra line displayed for files with terminating newline (#2727)

[James Shorthouse]

If I open a newline terminated file in geany extra blank line is displayed:

This is incorrect according to the POSIX specification of a file, in which all 
lines should be newline terminated. From looking at how geany presents the file 
it would appear that the file has 6 lines with the final line being empty, when 
it actually only has 5 newline terminated lines.

`wc` correctly reports only 5 lines in this file:

And vim correctly only displays 5 lines:
