Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
If the last line in the viewable page is full of text but not wrapped,
when enter is pressed to create a new line a scroll bar will appear
reducing the viewable page size by the width of the scroll bar and
causing the full line of text to wrap. When this happens, the wrapping
pushes the newline down below the viewable area and it appears that the
newline was not created. gedit will automatically scroll down to that
line when any character is entered or the cursor is moved up and then
back down, but it is not visible initially and the cursor is hidden on
that line, so the user doesn't know where their text will appear when it
is typed.
Reproduction steps:
1) open gedit.
2) put one character on a line and press enter as many times as you can without
causing the scroll bar to appear.
3) Fill the last line with sequences of a few characters and spaces without
causing the line to wrap or a scroll bar to appear.
4) Press enter at the end of this line. The line in step 3 should wrap due to
the appearance of the vertical scroll bar reducing the width of the screen, and
the newline created in this step should not be visible.
