Comment 23 for bug 379367

Can someone clarify the status of this bug report? I can see Invalid & Fix Released seems really strange and there is no explanation how it was fixed (sorry, I'm not able to understand the proposed patches).

Is there any other way how to changed it except for:

  gsettings set org.gnome.gedit.preferences.editor ensure-trailing-newline false

or its GUI equivalent? Is there a option in Gedit preferences for this, so that it is visible to all users without searching online? Was the design decision reconsidered according the confusion it creates? See for example:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3056740/gedit-adds-line-at-end-of-page

Was the fact that that most of Gedit users are developers which want to take care about these things them selves or see the current state in the file? What is the current default?

Thank you, I would say that explanations at the end of tickets avoids opening duplicate tickets in the future.
