Bug ID: 490637
Summary: Kate displays newline at the end of file when there
isn't
Classification: Applications
Product: kate
Version: 24.05.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: application
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Kate displays a newline at the end of a file, even when there isn't one there.
This is annoying when editing a yaml file where the linter expects you to have
a newline at the end of the file. In kate the editor shows a newline at the end
of the file, but the file contents don't have this newline.
The annoying part is that even when adding a newline within kate, kate won't
save it. So there is no way to make the yaml linter happy.
The Setting "Append newline at end of file on save" In "Open/Save" does not
seem to have an effect.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new file with the following contents:
```yaml
---
key: "value"
```
2. Save the file
3. Kate will add a newline (Line 4) in the display
4. Check the file with any other editor, e.g. `vim`. The immaginary newline is
not there
5. `yamllint` will complain about the missing newline
OBSERVED RESULT
* Newline is displayed but not saved
* Enabling/Disabling the "Append newline at end of file on save" does not seem
to have any effect on this issue
EXPECTED RESULT
* Newline is only displayed if present
* If present, the newline character at the end of the file will be saved to
disk
