Bug Description

Binary package hint: gedit

When opening a file where a CR/LF pair occurs across an 8k boundary (i.e., the CR is on character 0x2000 * n -1 and the LF is on character 0x2000 * n), then gedit reads it as two newlines.

Using standard lucid gedit:
Architecture: amd64
Version: 2.30.0git20100413-0ubuntu1

The attached file is an example of this. It contains 64 characters wide CR/LF lines, and each line ending crosses a 64-byte boundary. When opening the file in gedit, Every 32rd line ending is split in two.
