Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

file > new

in the new document, type a few lines:
line1
line2
line3

(last line of the document is line3)

file > save

save the file as /tmp/testfile

file > close

file > open

open /tmp/testfile

the document now has four lines!
last line is empty.
(the actual file still contains 3 lines, even after saving)

I don't know weather this is intended behavior. It just confuses me as for some scripts or when editing data files is't important that the last line is not empty.

gedit version 2.16,1

cat /etc/lsb-release
DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
DISTRIB_RELEASE=6.10
DISTRIB_CODENAME=edgy

In Feisty (gedit 2.18.1) the behaviour is correct. The file is saved and retrieved without any additional <CR>.
