I have reraised this issue because this disturbing misfeature has always
bugged me no end with vi. The appropriate behaviour is to let the user
confirm that the file has no final newline, with a checkbox to always
silently add one (which I will most definitely never use!), and a
preferences setting (so I can deactive it if necessary). Now there is no
indication of whether a final newline is present (should we cat the file
on a terminal, perhaps?), and no possibility to create a file without
one (and I was so happy to have gedit for that). Least surprise has
always been an element of a good user interface, and this is both
surprising and extremely annoying. Please don't patronise your users by
dismissing a well-founded concern.
** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => New
