From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.0.1) Gecko/20020830 Description of problem: whenever i create a text file in gedit, when i view this in the console using "cat <textfile>" i don't see the last line. it only appears when i open it in vi and save it. then "cat <textfile>" works. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. create a multiline textfile in gedit, and save 2. open a console and type "cat <filename>" 3. notice the last line is not there. 4. open file with vi, and ":wq" to save and quit. 5. type "cat <filename>" last line now shows Actual Results: uh... repeat steps above. save in gedit. cat in a console. no last line. open and save in vi. cat again. last line shows. Expected Results: saving in gedit and cat in console should always show last line Additional info:
You probably didn't put a newline on the end of the file in gedit. vi does that automatically. Moved to http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=95676
