empty line is added to files

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: gedit

file > new

in the new document, type a few lines:
line1
line2
line3

(last line of the document is line3)

file > save

save the file as /tmp/testfile

file > close

file > open

open /tmp/testfile

the document now has four lines!
last line is empty.
(the actual file still contains 3 lines, even after saving)

I don't know weather this is intended behavior. It just
confuses me as
for some scripts or when editing data files is't important
that the last
line is not empty.

gedit version 2.16,1

cat /etc/lsb-release
