I think I have found the right place in the NB source code - https://github.com/apache/netbeans/blob/7d89336259b840ce53709cbc8240c88e32fd6ea1/ide/editor.lib2/src/org/netbeans/modules/editor/lib2/document/TrailingWhitespaceRemoveProcessor.java#L135-L144 It looks like (as mentioned previously) it deliberately tries to avoid removing whitespace from the current line. I suppose this would be annoying if you also had autosave activated and it suddenly deleted WS from what you were just in the middle of typing. Pete
