It's not a bug, it's a feature. In the Unix world, a line of text ends with the <newline> character, by definition. A file consisting solely of the four-byte sequence "foo\n" contains only one line. And this is what gedit *correctly* shows.
See "Why should text files end with a newline?": https://stackoverflow.com/questions/729692 The proposed fix makes it very easy to create invalid text files, which is fine if that is really what the use wants, but it is a good thing that it is not the default behavior. The bug status should be changed to "invalid". ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1621732 Title: gedit doesn't show last newline To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1621732/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
