            Bug ID: 468409
           Summary: Kate should not show an extra new line at the end of
                    files
    Classification: Applications
           Product: kate
           Version: 22.12.3
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux

SUMMARY
***
NOTE: If you are reporting a crash, please try to attach a backtrace with debug
symbols.
See

***
Kate seems to add an extra new line to text files when **opening** them. This
gives users a false impression of how many lines are actually in the text file.
Please note, I am not talking about the "Append newline at end of file on save"
option, which I have already disabled. This is about new lines being added upon
opening.

Please add an option to disable this "feature" or at the very least make the
line counter for that last line have a lighter color, which is what I think
Visual Studio Code does to indicate that it isn't a real line in the file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a text file with, lets say, 5 lines of text using vim.
2. Open the file in Kate.

OBSERVED RESULT
6 lines of text are shown in Kate

EXPECTED RESULT
5 lines of text should be shown in Kate, or at the very least that 6th added
line should have a different, lighter color in the line counter text.
