It's one of those little UI annoyances that refuse to disappear. Just like blinking cursors in unfocused input fields & windows.
- arthur2e5 6y agoIt probably ties into the whole “line ending not newline” philosophy of requiring files to end with an EOL character.
- Someone 6y agoI think that’s because, if you follow selection of a full line by a backspace/delete/cut, you expect the new line to disappear. Apart from undo state, you also want cut to be equivalent to copy; backspace.
